We present a new rotation technique based on collision-free “mating” to expedite 3D rotations. It is specifically designed for one-handed interaction on tablets or touchscreens. A user study found that our new technique decreased the time to rotate objects in 3D by more than 60% in situations where objects align. We found similar results when users translated and rotated objects in a 3D scene. Also, angle errors were 35% less with mating. In essence, our new rotation technique improves both the speed and accuracy of common 3D rotation tasks. %G English %Z TC 13 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01497473/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01497473/file/978-3-642-40483-2_4_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01497473 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01497473 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-AICT %~ IFIP-TC13 %~ IFIP-LNCS-8117 %~ IFIP-INTERACT
