Virtual Reality Meets Smartwatch
Franca Alexandra Rupprecht, Achim Ebert, Andreas Schneider, Bernd Hamann · 2017
Despite the fact of increasing popularity virtual environments still lack useful and natural interaction techniques. We present a multi-modal interaction interface, designed for smartwatches and smartphones for fully immersive environments. Our approach enhances the efficiency of interaction in virtual worlds in a natural and intuitive way. We have designed and implemented methods for handling seven gestures and compare our approach with common VR input technology, namely body tracking using a 3D camera. The findings suggest our approach to be very encouraging for further developments.
