Oculus Rift 3D Interaction and Nicotine Craving: Results from a Pilot Study

b3.js: A Library for Interactive Web Data Visualizations in Virtual Reality

As virtual reality (VR) devices become more ubiquitous, data scientists increasingly recognize the power of viewing and manipulating complex, multivariate data in immersive virtual worlds. In their quest to extract knowledge from the data, data scientists may benefit from visualizations that are easily controlled by hand motion. We here present b3.js, a library for creating interactive VR data ...

Testing 3D Capabilities of Virtual Reality Hardware

Virtual reality (VR) has slowly embedded itself into modern society; it has transitioned from the prestigious research laboratory to everyday life as virtual environments (VE) are being used for entertainment and as an educational tool. How well can current virtual reality hardware display 3D objects? This is the question that we sought to answer with our study, as we tested the ability of the ...

A Review Paper on Oculus Rift-A Virtual Reality Headset

Oculus rift: Virtual reality (VR) is a burgeoning field that has the inherent potential of manipulating peoples mind with a superlative 3D experience. Oculus rift is one such application that assists in achieving the same. With the fleeting enhancements in VR it now seems very feasible to provide the user with experiences that were earlier thought to be merely a dream or a nightmare.

Towards Naturally Grabbing and Moving Objects in VR

Many VR applications require picking and moving of virtual objects. Many gesture based solutions do not work reliably, whereas controller based methods are not as natural as hand pose recognition. Tethered controllers add the issue of a cable being in the user’s way. We developed a gesture interface using a Leap Motion finger tracker attached to an Oculus Rift DK2 and implemented three ways of ...
