“…For the same reason, we showed only pictures of the bricks that are used in the LEGO set. As shown in other works [40,41], the proposed interaction metaphor allows users to focus their attention only on the assembly task and on the different types of instructions without the risk of decreasing their performance due to the picking task.…”

In the future, many activities will be carried out in the Metaverse: hybrid offices and video-based education are just some examples. The way research is carried out could change, too. In this context, this work investigates the possibility of simulating Augmented Reality (AR) user studies on information presentation in a virtual environment. Organizing an industrial setup is complex; thus, most studies are executed in laboratories. However, lab experiments present limitations, e.g., the number and variety of participants and the availability of facilities. User studies may also be carried out by exploiting simulated AR, as an initial step for the Metaverse, where people are connected regardless of their location. This alternative could be used to carry out experiments on AR information presentation to solve common issues, such as the lack of physical equipment to perform component location tasks and the long time required to collect a large sample of users. Indeed, researchers could propose CAD models with information that simulates the same visual realism achieved with true AR. Moreover, multiple tests could be conducted in parallel by not relying on a limited amount of physical equipment per user. In this work, we developed and evaluated a desktop-simulated testing environment (DSTE) to conduct AR information presentation experiments remotely. We applied it in a pilot user study, revealing that the proposed DSTE was effective for the related research goals. Furthermore, 40 participants reported a positive user experience. The evaluation confirms that using a DSTE is promising for collecting and analyzing data from a wide range of people.

“…Classical children’s toys are increasingly digitised and transferred to VR applications. In combination with the LMC and the Kinect sensor, an interactive VR allows to simulate real LEGO (The LEGO Group, LEGO System A/S Denmark, (accessed on 13 August 2017)) toys [ 138 ], enabling the user to design and manufacture buildings. NUIs for VR games with a LMC gesture-based interaction employ the Unity game engine which is due to the availability of Unity Core Assets and Modules for gesture interfaces with the LMC (Unity Assets for Leap Motion Orion, (accessed on 13 March 2018)).…”

Modern hardware and software development has led to an evolution of user interfaces from command-line to natural user interfaces for virtual immersive environments. Gestures imitating real-world interaction tasks increasingly replace classical two-dimensional interfaces based on Windows/Icons/Menus/Pointers (WIMP) or touch metaphors. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to survey the state-of-the-art Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) techniques with a focus on the special field of three-dimensional interaction. This includes an overview of currently available interaction devices, their applications of usage and underlying methods for gesture design and recognition. Focus is on interfaces based on the Leap Motion Controller (LMC) and corresponding methods of gesture design and recognition. Further, a review of evaluation methods for the proposed natural user interfaces is given.

Augmented Reality (AR) manages to bring a virtual environment into a real-world environment seamlessly. As AR has been recognised as advancing technology, AR brings future changes to the learning process. The goal of this study is to use freehand gestures to create a virtual block game in AR. First of all, the stages of this study are to explore block games and freehand movements by using Leap Motion. Secondly, the design and development of Leap Motion virtual block games, and thirdly, the implementation of free-hand gesture interaction virtual block games. The paper explains about virtual blocks AR game using freehand gesture. AR tracking system with real hand gesture recognition system is merged to execute the freehand gesture. A prototype virtual block has been described in this paper. The paper ends with the conclusion and future works.
