Toward Using Machine Learning-Based Motion Gesture for 3D Text Input

Efficient text entry is essential to any computing system. However, text entry methods in virtual reality (VR) currently lack the predictive aid and physical feedback that allows users to type efficiently. The state of the art methods such as using ...

Existing text entry techniques for virtual reality are either slow and error-prone, stationary, break immersion, or physically demanding. We present Shapeshifter, a technique that enables text entry in virtual reality by performing gestures and ...

Gesture typing has been a widely adopted text entry method on touchscreen devices. We have conducted a study to understand whether older adults could gesture type, how they type, what are the strengths and weaknesses of gesture typing, and how to further ...
