A Cable-less Interaction Device for AR and VR Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the Magic Pen, a modified pen that allows natural cable-less interaction with AR environments. The pen is a normal pen with bright Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) mounted at each end. Using computer vision techniques, these LEDs are tracked in the image captured by a head-mounted camera, and the pen’s position and orientation are computed. This permits the use of image plane interaction techniques for interacting with virtual images. We describe the computer vision algorithms used, the tracking results and the interaction supported.

Workshop 2: Storytelling in Virtual Reality Environments
Virtual worlds have become more and more technically perfect. Software and hardware have been developed so that one can see virtual scenarios with high visual complexity. Acoustical and haptical senses are also involved in modern virtual installations. The new challenge in virtual environments is the narrative part. The experience is the very new way of storytelling. As we see the high speed of...
متن کاملComparing Differences in Presence during Social Interaction in Augmented Reality versus Virtual Reality Environments: An Exploratory Study
In augmented reality (AR) environments, users experience the physical environment and other users directly along with mediated virtual objects embedded in the environment. In immersive virtual reality (VR), users experience of a visual environment (and sometimes other senses) is completely mediated. The representation of user’s body in virtual environments granted us a new research territory in...
متن کاملHuman Computer Interaction Using Vision-Based Hand Gesture Recognition
With the rapid emergence of 3D applications and virtual environments in computer systems; the need for a new type of interaction device arises. This is because the traditional devices such as mouse, keyboard, and joystick become inefficient and cumbersome within these virtual environments. In other words, evolution of user interfaces shapes the change in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). In...
متن کاملDEVAL - A Device Abstraction Layer for VR/AR
While software developers for desktop applications can rely on mouse and keyboard as standard input devices, developers of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications usually have to deal with a large variety of individual interaction devices. Existing device abstraction layers provide a solution to this problem, but are usually limited to a specific set or type of input device...
