“…Pointing and selecting objects using virtual pointer (raypointing) or flash light has been extensively explored in the context of virtual environments [20,22,28,31,37]. Raypointing through hand/arms could be subject to inaccuracy through hand jitters, eye-hand visibility mismatch conflicts [1], or the Heisenberg effect [9].…”

In 2D interfaces, actions are often represented by fixed tools arranged in menus, palettes, or dedicated parts of a screen, whereas 3D interfaces afford their arrangement at different depths relative to the user and the user can move them relative to each other. In this paper we introduce EyeSeeThrough as a novel interaction technique that utilises eye-tracking in VR. The user can apply an action to an intended object by visually aligning the object with the tool at the line-of-sight, and then issue a confirmation command. The underlying idea is to merge the two-step process of 1) selection of a mode in a menu and 2) applying it to a target, into one unified interaction. We present a user study where we compare the method to the baseline two-step selection. The results of our user study showed that our technique outperforms the two step selection in terms of speed and comfort. We further developed a prototype of a virtual living room to demonstrate the practicality of the proposed technique.

“…For the standard 3D interaction technique, we decided to use the virtual ray technique (also known as the ray-casting technique [Jacoby et al 1994;Mine 1995]) as a baseline for 3D interaction in virtual reality (see Figure 3). Some other techniques have been developed to improve the virtual ray technique such as HOMER [Bowman and Hodges 1997] or Voodoo Dolls [Pierce et al 1999], but they are still hard to manage for non-expert users and require additional tracking of the users' hand.…”

Figure 1: 6 degrees of freedom manipulation of a 3D object on a multi-touch wall-sized display combining bimanual interaction and teleportation. The user is performing a xy translation (main picture), z translation (a), roll rotation (b), and pitch & yaw rotation (c). AbstractWhile multi-touch devices are well established in our everyday life, they are currently becoming larger and larger. Large screens such as wall-sized displays are now equipped with multi-touch capabilities. Multi-touch wall-sized displays will become widespread in a near future in various places such as public places or meeting rooms. These new devices are an interesting opportunity to interact with 3D virtual environments: the large display surface offers a good immersion, while the multi-touch capabilities could make interaction with 3D content accessible to the general public.In this paper, we aim to explore touch-based 3D interaction in the situation where users are immersed in a 3D virtual environment and move in front of a vertical wall-sized display. We design In(SITE), a bimanual touch-based technique combined with object teleportation features which enables users to interact on a large wall-sized display. This technique is compared with a standard 3D interaction * e-mail: jeanbaptiste.louvet@insa-rouen.fr † e-mail: cedric.fleury@lri.fr Permission to make digital or hard copies of all or part of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on the first page.

The results of two controlled experiments show that participants can reach the same level of performance for completion time and a better precision for fine adjustments of object position with the In(SITE) technique. They also suggest that combining object teleportation with both techniques improves translations in terms of ease of use, fatigue, and user preference.
