“…None of these approaches can keep up high input speed and usability known from typing on a physical keyboard. Recently, researchers focused on augmenting VR by incorporating a video stream of reality into the virtual environment to compensate typing performance decrease [10]. Lin et al [8] extend this approach by utilizing a depth camera to display a point cloud of a user's hands beside a rendered virtual representation of the physical keyboard.…”

“…They deliberately limit the connection to the real world to create a high level of immersion and strong sensation of presence. Unfortunately, visual immersion not only substitutes real world distractions but also makes it impossible to see the physical keyboard and mouse which are essential for high-bandwidth general purpose interaction [10]. Typewriting is the most used generic text input method for desktop computing.…”

Entering text is one of the most common tasks when interacting with computing systems. Virtual Reality (VR) presents a challenge as neither the user's hands nor the physical input devices are directly visible. Hence, conventional desktop peripherals are very slow, imprecise, and cumbersome. We developed a apparatus that tracks the user's hands, and a physical keyboard, and visualize them in VR. In a text input study with 32 participants, we investigated the achievable text entry speed and the effect of hand representations and transparency on typing performance, workload, and presence. With our apparatus, experienced typists benefited from seeing their hands, and reach almost outside-VR performance. Inexperienced typists profited from semi-transparent hands, which enabled them to type just 5.6 WPM slower than with a regular desktop setup. We conclude that optimizing the visualization of hands in VR is important, especially for inexperienced typists, to enable a high typing performance.

Computer-based interactions increasingly pervade our everyday environments. Be it on a mobile device, a wearable device, a wall-sized display, or an augmented reality device, interactive systems often rely on the consumption, composition, and manipulation of text. The focus of this workshop is on exploring the problems and opportunities of text interactions that are embedded in our environments, available all the time, and used by people who may be constrained by device, situation, or disability.This workshop welcomes all researchers interested in interactive systems that rely on text input or output. Participants should submit a short position statement outlining their background, past work, future plans, and suggesting a use-case they would like to explore in-depth during the workshop. During the workshop, small teams will form around common or compelling use-cases. Teams will spend time brainstorming, creating low-fidelity prototypes, and discussing their use-case with the group.Participants may optionally submit a technical paper for presentation as part of the workshop program. The workshop serves to sustain and build the community of text entry researchers who attend CHI. It provides an opportunity for new members to join this community, soliciting feedback from experts in a small and supportive environment.

“…However, for public transport, social acceptability, and issues of personal space and safety may inhibit adoption [61]. McGill et al have begun to look at ways of bringing people into the VR world to address some of these issues [44,6,45]. AR HMDs may be more acceptable here and research into solutions across mixed-reality HMDs should be investigated.…”

“…Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) Head Mounted Displays (HMDs) have the potential to significantly expand the display space, enabling immersive entertainment and workspaces that go beyond the physical limitations of the car interior. Problematically, VR HMDs also occlude visual perception of reality [44,6] and thus the car's motion, and are likely to lead to sensory mismatch and, consequently, motion sickness. However, assuming the orientation and velocity of the vehicle can be tracked at low latency, HMDs have the potential to portray the vehicle motion virtually.…”

This paper explores the use of VR Head Mounted Displays (HMDs) in-car and in-motion for the first time. Immersive HMDs are becoming everyday consumer items and, as they offer new possibilities for entertainment and productivity, people will want to use them during travel in, for example, autonomous cars. However, their use is confounded by motion sickness caused in-part by the restricted visual perception of motion conflicting with physically perceived vehicle motion (accelerations/rotations detected by the vestibular system). Whilst VR HMDs restrict visual perception of motion, they could also render it virtually, potentially alleviating sensory conflict. To study this problem, we conducted the first on-road and in motion study to systematically investigate the effects of various visual presentations of the real-world motion of a car on the sickness and immersion of VR HMD wearing passengers. We established new baselines for VR in-car motion sickness, and found that there is no one best presentation with respect to balancing sickness and immersion. Instead, user preferences suggest different solutions are required for differently susceptible users to provide usable VR in-car. This work provides formative insights for VR designers and an entry point for further research into enabling use of VR HMDs, and the rich experiences they offer, when travelling.
