Seamless Hand-Based Remote and Close Range Interaction in IVEs
Mensch und Computer Workshop on Virtual and Augmented Reality in Everyday Context (2018)
In this work, we describe a hybrid, hand-based interaction metaphor that makes remote and close objects in an HMD-based immersive virtual environment (IVE) seamlessly accessible. To accomplish this, different existing techniques, such as go-go and HOMER, were combined in a way that aims for generality, intuitiveness, uniformity, and speed. A technique like this is one prerequisite for a successful integration of IVEs to professional everyday applications, such as data analysis workflows.
