We describe automatic adjustment methods for positioning and releasing a 3D virtual object efficiently and precisely by direct hand manipulation in an immersive virtual reality environment. The methods are release adjustment, position adjustment, and viewpoint adjustment. Combinations of these methods enable users to manipulate a virtual object efficiently and precisely. An experimental evaluation showed that these methods are effective and useful in terms of the number of task completions and subjective preference for a small target.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
