Desenvolvimento de uma interface multi-toque para uma mesa de simulação tática usando a Engine Unity

Abstract

Multi-touch interfaces brought a new paradigm for human-computer interaction, giving the user a sense of immersion to the virtual environment through closer human behavior interactions. This work is part of the project Sistema Integrado de Simulação Astros(SisAstros), and presents the development of a touch interface, modular and intuitive, for a tabletop virtual tactical simulator using the Unity engine. This tabletop is a module that enables interaction between the student and the system, through many commands type, to control a military simulation. Among other characteristics, this interface provides menus to the user, both for performing actions and for visualizing information about the simulation. These menus can be accessed by the user at any position in the device extension. For this, methods and menu layouts that would allow this practice were studied. The adaptation of the Model-View-Controller paradigm proved to be efficient for inserting new menus into the interface and connecting them to other system units.
