Virtual Window Manipulation Method for Head-mounted Display Using Smart Device

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a virtual window manipulation method used for information search while utilizing a head-mounted display (HMD). Existing HMD operation methods have several issues like causing user fatigue and processing input tasks inefficiently. Such problems are difficult to solve simultaneously. Therefore, we propose using head tracking cursors and smart devices. The suggested method aims to operate a head tracking cursor by swiping input on the smart device. In this paper, we compared the operability of this new method and the classic hand tracking one based on the results of user experiments. As a result, it was confirmed that operability of the proposed method is deemed to be high.
