While numerous studies have examined 3D interaction techniques for Virtual Reality (VR) across various tasks and scenarios, limited research has focused on music-related applications. However, the most common input techniques in consumer VR ...

• Interaction techniques affect time precision.
• The use of two alternating hands does not improve performance.
• Buttons and touch surfaces enhance synchronization with auditory stimuli.
• Musically-inspired gestures assist users in ...

Virtual reality (VR) technology capably complements exhibitions. Despite the considerable attention to the development of VR exhibitions, corresponding 3D user interface (UIs) design is in strong need. In this paper, we focus on the design of 3D ...

Many 3D Interaction techniques use virtual ray-casting for general selection and manipulation tasks. Some virtual ray-casting techniques are equipped with gadgets to fit specific interaction scenarios, such as selecting an object with special ...

Designing 3D User Interfaces (UI) requires adequate evaluation tools to ensure good usability and user experience. While many evaluation tools are already available and widely used, existing approaches generally cannot provide continuous and ...

In this work, we investigate gaze selection in the context of mid-air hand gestural manipulation of 3D rigid bodies on monoscopic displays. We present the results of a user study with 12 participants in which we compared the performance of Gaze, a ...

The goal of plasticity is to ensure usability continuity whatever the context of use. This context must be modeled into the system and possibly taken into account to adapt the final application. The difficulty to handle plasticity for 3D ...

The World Health Organization estimates that there are 285 million people with severe visual impairment in the world. With the advent of technology, virtual 3D environments are increasingly being used in several applications. Many of these applications, ...

As 3D on the web gains momentum via standards such as WebGL and WebXR, a reoccurring frustration among web developers is inability to leverage 2D web technologies within immersive presentation contexts. The use-cases for blending 2D and 3D web content ...

In contrast to conventional retail stores, online shopping comes with many advantages, like unrestricted opening hours and is more focused on functionality. However, these pros often come at a cost of complex search and limited product visualization. ...

Virtual Reality environments are able to offer natural interaction metaphors. However, it is difficult to accurately place virtual objects in the desired position and orientation using gestures in mid-air. Previous research concluded that the separation ...

Navigating through a virtual, 3D reconstructed scene has recently become very important in many applications. A popular approach is to virtually travel to the photos used in reconstructing the scene; such an approach may be generally termed a "snapping-...

Multiplanes is a virtual reality (VR) drawing system that provides users with the flexibility of freehand drawing and the ability to draw perfect shapes. Through the combination of both beautified and 2D drawing, Multiplanes addresses challenges in ...

Most current virtual reality (VR) applications use some form of teleportation to cover large distances, or real walking in room-scale setups for moving in virtual environments. Though real walking is the most natural for medium distances, it gets ...

A taxonomy to classify reach, cardinality and refinement on out-of-reach selections.We propose PRECIOUS, a novel out-of-reach selection technique.PRECIOUS employs an iterative progressive refinement strategy in Virtual Reality.User evaluation comparing ...

In this work, we explored the main characteristics of on- and offline shops with regard to customer shopping behavior and frequency. Thus, we designed and implemented an immersive virtual reality (VR) online shopping environment. We tried to maintain the ...

Gesture-based 3D interaction is a research topic with application in numerous scenarios which gained relevance with the recent advances in low-cost tracking systems. Yet, it poses many challenges due to its novelty and consequent lack of ...

Object manipulation in 3D virtual environments demands a combined coordination of rotations, translations and scales, as well as the camera control to change the user's viewpoint. Then, for many manipulation tasks, it would be advantageous to share the ...

In this article, we report on challenges and potential methodologies to support the design and validation of multisensory techniques. Such techniques can be used for enhancing engagement in immersive systems. Yet, designing effective techniques requires ...

Object manipulation is a key feature in almost every virtual environment. However, it is difficult to accurately place an object in immersive virtual environments using mid-air gestures that mimic interactions in the physical world, although being a ...

Virtual Reality (VR) has been an active field of research for several decades, with 3D interaction and 3D User Interfaces (UIs) as important sub-disciplines. However, the development of 3D interaction techniques and in particular combining several of ...
