USER INTERFACE IN INTERACTIVE VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT BASED ON REAL LOCATION

摘要

Nowadays we see an increase of interest in immersive technologies connected with new modes of communication. With novel devices possibilities open for research in the field of Human-Computer Interfaces (HCI) and Virtual Reality (VR). This project is focused on the creation of interactive virtual reality scenery and on the verification of usefulness of different interfaces in such contexts. We designed a virtual urban space that is accessible to users through VR goggles: Oculus Rift paired with Leap Motion. We prepared an experiment to test how well users can interact in proposed virtual environment through this setup. Results show that in simple tasks users can quickly learn on their own how to use given interface without tutoring.
