| Summary
|
Allows users to pick up an object on a display and drop it on another display similarly to how physical objects would be manipulated.
|
| Description
|
Rekimoto (Rekimoto:1997) proposed an interaction technique called Pick-and-Drop, which allows users to pick up digital objects with a stylus and drop them onto another screen. The technique is different from tradition drag-and-drop because selecting an object virtually attaches it to the stylus, which can them be moved without physically contacting the screen. This also facilitates transferring objects across devices.
