   abstract = {Recently, stable markerless 6 DOF video based hand-tracking devices became available. These devices
               simultaneously track the positions and orientations of the user’s both hands in different postures
               with at least 25 frames per second. Such hand-tracking allows for using the human hands as natural
               input devices. However, the absence of physical buttons for performing click actions and state
               changes poses severe challenges in designing an efficient and easy to use 3D interface on top of
               such a device. In particular, for coupling and decoupling the object’s movements to the user’s
               hand (i.e. grabbing and releasing) a solution has to be found. In this paper, we introduce a novel
               technique for efficient two-handed grabbing and releasing objects and intuitively manipulating them
               in the virtual space. This technique is integrated in a novel 3D interface for virtual
               manipulations. A user experiment shows the superior applicability of this new technique.}
