VR and Laser-Based Interaction in Virtual Environments Using a Dual-Purpose Interaction Metaphor

چکیده
In this paper we present a dual-purpose interaction metaphor for desktop-based and virtual reality (VR) interaction in VR system environments. Many VR interaction techniques enable users to perform 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) manipulation tasks. However, designers of most GUIs have only standard desktop devices in mind for using them. Therefore porting desktop applications to VR systems often fails since no techniques exist for making the full functionality of the GUI accessible to the user. VR interaction techniques lack support for combining both VR and desktop-based interaction, e.g., the control of the operating system and 2D menu handling. In this paper we present a dualpurpose interaction metaphor based on laser pen interaction, which is capable of performing both desktop-based and VR interaction tasks.

ALCOVE: Design and Implementation of an Object-Centric Virtual Environment
This thesis presents a new interaction metaphor for object-centric tasks in the form of a prototype VR system, ALCOVE. Our new interaction metaphor is based on the observation that many users perform object-centric tasks: tasks centered around objects that must be manipulated and examined in detail. Although such tasks are numerous, traditional VR systems have yet to provide an interaction meta...

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 کاملExploring and Interacting with Virtual Museums
Traditional exhibitions in museums provide limited possibilities of interaction between the visitor and their artefacts. Usually, interaction is confined to reading labels with little information on the exhibits, shop booklets, and audio guided tours. These forms of interaction provide minimal information, and do not respond to a visitor’s personalized information preferences. As a result, ther...
متن کاملHand-Held Windows: Towards Effective 2D Interaction in Immersive Virtual Environments
The study of human-computer interaction within immersive virtual environments requires us to balance what we have learned from the design and use of desktop interfaces with novel approaches to allow us to work effectively in three dimensions. While some researchers have called for revolutionary interfaces for these new environments, devoid of two-dimensional (2D) desktop widgets, others have ta...
