Gesture inputs for navigating in a 3d scene via a gui

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processing unit, cause the processing unit to manipulate a three-dimensional scene displayed via a multi-touch display, by performing the steps of:

• receiving information associated with an end-user touching a multi-touch display at one or more screen locations;
• determining a hand movement based on the information associated with the end-user touching the multi-touch display;
• determining a command associated with the hand movement;
• and
• causing the three-dimensional to be manipulated based on the command and the one or more screen locations.

A computing device, comprising:

• a multi-touch display configured to display a three-dimensional scene;
• and
• a processing unit configured to:
• receive information associated with an end-user touching a multi-touch display at one or more screen locations,
• determine a hand movement based on the information associated with the end-user touching the multi-touch display,
• determine a command associated with the hand movement, and
• cause the three-dimensional to be manipulated based on the command and the one or more screen locations.
