Rather than using a direct manipulation technique to handle placement of the puzzle pieces, such as the virtual hand, we designed an innovative technique based on building blocks. We aimed to provide a fun and intuitive way to solve puzzles that is not possible in the physical world. Rather than having to focus on specific pieces one at a time, users instead build pieces from individual building blocks, allowing them to focus on the structure of the puzzle space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"3DUI Contest 2011 - Building Blocks - Fighting Gobblers, Virginia Tech\" width=\"1778\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5aRJJfR01tM?modestbranding=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"teachpress_pub_list\"><form name=\"tppublistform\" method=\"get\"><a name=\"tppubs\" id=\"tppubs\"><\/a><\/form><div class=\"teachpress_publication_list\"><h3 class=\"tp_h3\" id=\"tp_h3_conference\">Conferences<\/h3><div class=\"tp_publication tp_publication_conference\"><div class=\"tp_pub_info\"><p class=\"tp_pub_author\">Felipe Bacim; Cheryl Stinson; Bireswar Laha; Doug A Bowman<\/p><p class=\"tp_pub_title\"><a class=\"tp_title_link\" onclick=\"teachpress_pub_showhide('76','tp_links')\" style=\"cursor:pointer;\">Building blocks: a novel metaphor for solving 3D puzzles<\/a> <span class=\"tp_pub_type tp_  conference\">Conference<\/span> <\/p><p class=\"tp_pub_additional\"><span class=\"tp_pub_additional_booktitle\">IEEE Symposium on 3D User Interfaces (3DUI) 2011, <\/span><span class=\"tp_pub_additional_organization\">IEEE <\/span><span class=\"tp_pub_additional_publisher\">IEEE, <\/span><span class=\"tp_pub_additional_address\">Singapore, Singapore, <\/span><span class=\"tp_pub_additional_year\">2011<\/span>, <span class=\"tp_pub_additional_isbn\">ISBN: 978-1-4577-0063-7<\/span><span class=\"tp_pub_additional_note\">, (&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;)<\/span>.<\/p><p class=\"tp_pub_menu\"><span class=\"tp_abstract_link\"><a id=\"tp_abstract_sh_76\" class=\"tp_show\" onclick=\"teachpress_pub_showhide('76','tp_abstract')\" title=\"Show abstract\" style=\"cursor:pointer;\">Abstract<\/a><\/span> | <span class=\"tp_resource_link\"><a id=\"tp_links_sh_76\" class=\"tp_show\" onclick=\"teachpress_pub_showhide('76','tp_links')\" title=\"Show links and resources\" style=\"cursor:pointer;\">Links<\/a><\/span> | <span class=\"tp_bibtex_link\"><a id=\"tp_bibtex_sh_76\" class=\"tp_show\" onclick=\"teachpress_pub_showhide('76','tp_bibtex')\" title=\"Show BibTeX entry\" style=\"cursor:pointer;\">BibTeX<\/a><\/span><\/p><div class=\"tp_bibtex\" id=\"tp_bibtex_76\" style=\"display:none;\"><div class=\"tp_bibtex_entry\"><pre>@conference{136,<br \/>\r\ntitle = {Building blocks: a novel metaphor for solving 3D puzzles},<br \/>\r\nauthor = {Felipe Bacim and Cheryl Stinson and Bireswar Laha and Doug A Bowman},<br \/>\r\ndoi = {10.1109\/3DUI.2011.5759238},<br \/>\r\nisbn = {978-1-4577-0063-7},<br \/>\r\nyear  = {2011},<br \/>\r\ndate = {2011-01-01},<br \/>\r\nbooktitle = {IEEE Symposium on 3D User Interfaces (3DUI) 2011},<br \/>\r\npages = {127 - 128},<br \/>\r\npublisher = {IEEE},<br \/>\r\naddress = {Singapore, Singapore},<br \/>\r\norganization = {IEEE},<br \/>\r\nabstract = {&lt;br&gt;},<br \/>\r\nnote = {&lt;br&gt;},<br \/>\r\nkeywords = {},<br \/>\r\npubstate = {published},<br \/>\r\ntppubtype = {conference}<br \/>\r\n}<br \/>\r\n<\/pre><\/div><p class=\"tp_close_menu\"><a class=\"tp_close\" onclick=\"teachpress_pub_showhide('76','tp_bibtex')\">Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><div class=\"tp_abstract\" id=\"tp_abstract_76\" style=\"display:none;\"><div class=\"tp_abstract_entry\">&lt;br&gt;<\/div><p class=\"tp_close_menu\"><a class=\"tp_close\" onclick=\"teachpress_pub_showhide('76','tp_abstract')\">Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><div class=\"tp_links\" id=\"tp_links_76\" style=\"display:none;\"><div class=\"tp_links_entry\"><ul class=\"tp_pub_list\"><li><i class=\"ai ai-doi\"><\/i><a class=\"tp_pub_list\" href=\"https:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1109\/3DUI.2011.5759238\" title=\"Follow DOI:10.1109\/3DUI.2011.5759238\" target=\"_blank\">doi:10.1109\/3DUI.2011.5759238<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><p class=\"tp_close_menu\"><a class=\"tp_close\" onclick=\"teachpress_pub_showhide('76','tp_links')\">Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This project is based on design and implementation of an innovative solution to solve the challenge proposed by the 3DUI Contest 2011.
