ABSTRACT
An Interaction Task in Virtual Reality is such that a user can modify a computer generated virtual world using various techniques. But current interaction techniques cannot be applicable for most virtual environments due to their inefficiency and inconvenience. In this paper, we propose a selection and manipulation technique called the Finger-gesture. We evaluate its usefulness by conducting quantitative and qualitative experiments within a specific environment. Results indicate our new technique is more efficient in selection and modification tasks than other existing techniques including Go-Go and Ray-casting in terms of the task completion time and accuracy.

Cyber sickness in low-immersive, semi-immersive, and fully immersive virtual reality
AbstractIt is known that virtual reality (VR) experience may cause cyber sickness. One aspect of VR is an immersion or otherwise sense of presence, the sense of feeling oneself in a virtual world. In this paper an experiment which was conducted in order ...
