ABSTRACT
With the advent of the low-cost headsets, Virtual Reality (VR) applications have gained enormous attention and popularity. Object selection is the primary task in VR interfaces. Although numerous studies have been done for the selection of objects, there is limited understanding of how the input methods affect the object selection in sparse, dense and occluded dense Virtual Environment (VE). In this paper, we investigate the commonly used input methods (capacitive touch and dwell gaze) for a smartphone-based VR head-mounted device. We evaluate the task completion time, error rates, ease of use, comfort and user preference correlated to the proposed VEs. The results indicated that capacitive touch was a preferred method of selection in dense and occluded dense VEs. The users preferred dwell gaze in the sparsely populated VE.

Observing Virtual Avatars: The Impact of Avatars’ Fidelity on Identifying Interactions
Academic Mindtrek '21: Proceedings of the 24th International Academic Mindtrek ConferenceThere are many cases where observing the interactions of a virtual avatar can be useful. However, it is unclear to what extent the avatar fidelity affects bystanders’ performance when observing gestures performed by avatars. We, therefore, conducted an ...
Virtual reality approach in treating acrophobia: simulating height in virtual environment
Acrophobia is a scientific term used to describe the fear of height. To some people, this fear is manageable, but to others, the fear could pose danger to their life if it starts to interfere with their day to day activities. The conventional treatment ...
