Abstract Stereoscopic tabletops collocate both user interaction and visualization spaces, fostering more natural freehand interaction metaphors to manipulate 3D virtual content. Thanks to a non-intrusive tracking solution, based on depth cameras, users can interact and manipulate virtual objects using both hands. In this position paper, we perform a comparative study of one multi-touch and four mid-air interaction techniques assigning the seven degrees of freedom (translation, rotation and uniform scaling) of 3D manipulation, symmetrically or asymmetrically between both hands.
