“…The basis for H1 and H2 was the fact that BMSR allows users to view and manipulate a scaled replica of the object they are moving in their personal space, which allows enhanced depth presentation and perception and enhanced proprioception, which tends to facilitate greater precision and motor control, and potentially reduces hand instability issues [31][32][33]. On the other hand, Scaled HOMER is a remote manipulation technique for distant object manipulation.…”

In this contribution, we propose a hybrid interaction technique that integrates near-field and object-space interaction techniques for manipulating objects at a distance in virtual reality (VR). The objective of the hybrid interaction technique was to seamlessly leverage the strengths of both the near-field and object-space manipulation techniques. We employed bimanual near-field metaphor with scaled replica (BMSR) as our near-field interaction technique, which enabled us to perform multilevel degrees-of-freedom (DoF) separation transformations, such as 1~3DoF translation, 1~3DoF uniform and anchored scaling, 1DoF and 3DoF rotation, and 6DoF simultaneous translation and rotation, with enhanced depth perception and fine motor control provided by near-field manipulation techniques. The object-space interaction technique we utilized was the classic Scaled HOMER, which is known to be effective and appropriate for coarse transformations in distant object manipulation. In a repeated measures within-subjects evaluation, we empirically evaluated the three interaction techniques for their accuracy, efficiency, and economy of movement in pick-and-place, docking, and tunneling tasks in VR. Our findings revealed that the near-field BMSR technique outperformed the object space Scaled HOMER technique in terms of accuracy and economy of movement, but the participants performed more slowly overall with BMSR. Additionally, our results revealed that the participants preferred to use the hybrid interaction technique, as it allowed them to switch and transition seamlessly between the constituent BMSR and Scaled HOMER interaction techniques, depending on the level of accuracy, precision and efficiency required.

“…Three of those studies used a typing task on a keyboard with established phrase sets: one [72] used the Enron corpus [81], and two (in Yu et al [91]) used the MacKenzie phrase set [46]. One further study used a pick-and-place task [12], which is based on a real-world pegtransfer task used in training and assessment tools for laparoscopic surgeons [76]. Another study used a 6-DoF object manipulation task [82], originally used by Zhai and Milgram [92], where a tetrahedron is positioned and aligned in space with another, similar tetrahedron.…”

“…Seven of the manipulation studies reported some parameters of the target distance ranges. For example, the center-to-center distance between pegs in the peg-transfer task was 6cm [12], and the key hole was positioned within ranges of "x-axis from 180 to 360 degrees, y-axis from 0 to 30 degrees, z-axis from 60 to 60 degrees" [39]. 4.7.4 Target Arrangements.…”

“…For example, as Speicher et al [72] and Yu et al [91] study the use of virtual keyboards, a dependent variable in their studies is Words Per Minute (WPM), that describes how fast a user can type. Both Chapoulie et al [17] and Brickler et al [12] measure the number of times a participant collides with an obstacle, might that be in the virtual or physical world. Veit et al [80] presents a new measure that describes "the proportion of time users manipulate one, two and three DOF at the same time".…”

The VR community has introduced many object selection and manipulation techniques during the past two decades. Typically, they are empirically studied to establish their benefits over the stateof-the-art. However, the literature contains few guidelines on how to conduct such studies; standards developed for evaluating 2D interaction often do not apply. This lack of guidelines makes it hard to compare techniques across studies, to report evaluations consistently, and therefore to accumulate or replicate findings. To build such guidelines, we review 20 years of studies on VR object selection and manipulation. Based on the review, we propose recommendations for designing studies and a checklist for reporting them. We also identify research directions for improving evaluation methods and offer ideas for how to make studies more ecologically valid and rigorous.

“…However, most efforts in surgical simulation have prioritized graphical fidelity over tactile and force feedback, commonly known as haptic feedback [7]. While graphically intensive systems may have advantages such as lower computational requirements and cost-effectiveness, empirical studies highlight the significant impact of haptic feedback on consistent and accelerated skill acquisition among trainees [1,5,6]. On the other hand, counterarguments arise from research [4,9] that questions the overall efficacy of haptic feedback, positing that visual cues alone may suffice or even exceed haptic feedback in specific scenarios.…”

We study the impact of haptic feedback on basic technical skills transfer from VR to the real world. Twenty-four volunteers were divided into two training groups (haptic and no-haptic groups) and a control group. The training groups learned to perform a "Ring Transfer" task in a VR simulator, and all participants performed pre-, post, and retention tests on a similar physical setup. Results show that skill transfer is observed for both training groups and not for the control group. The haptic group participants also improved their performance compared to the no-haptic group, but the difference was not significant.
