Abstract

We describe automatic adjustment methods for positioning and releasing a 3D virtual object efficiently and precisely by direct hand manipulation in an immersive virtual reality environment. The methods are release adjustment, position adjustment, and viewpoint adjustment. Combinations of these methods enable users to manipulate a virtual object efficiently and precisely. An experimental evaluation showed that these methods are effective and useful in terms of the number of task completions and subjective preference for a small target.
