Abstract:

In this paper, we present a double hand-gesture interaction (DHGI) method for walk-through in VR environment with an Oculus Rift headset and Leap Motion function. The user can control the avatar (first-person view) to move (walk/run) forward or backward by turning the user's left palm upward or downward, and by turning the avatar to the left or right with the right thumb pointing toward either direction. Compared with the results of the joystick input device and portal method using Oculus Rift Touches, the objective and subjective findings of this study indicate that DHGI is intuitive, easy to learn, easy to use, and causes low fatigue. Moreover, the user feedback shows that DHGI significantly improves immersion and reduces the sense of motion sickness in VR.
