- Hitchhiking Hands: Remote Interaction by Switching Multiple Hand Avatars with Gaze
Organizer(s)/Presenter(s):
Description:
Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) with eye tracking and hand tracking are widely used in entertainment, gaming, design, and training. However, most VR and AR interaction methods are limited in their interactable range and do not fully support the direct manipulation of VR and AR objects. This paper proposes a novel technique called Hitchhiking Hands, which allows the user to switch multiple hand avatars by staring them, and enables natural and direct interaction with VR/AR objects ranging from nearby objects to remote ones.
