Hybrid cursor control for precise and fast positioning without clutching

Abstract

In virtual environments, selection is typically solved by moving a cursor above a virtual item/object and issuing a selection command. In the context of hand-tracking, the cursor movement is controlled by a certain mapping of the hand pose to the virtual cursor position, allowing the cursor to reach any place in the virtual working space. If the virtual working space is bounded, a linear mapping can be used. This is called a proportional control.
