An Examination of Visual Improvement in Barehanded Interaction with a Virtual Object

Abstract

Recently, for developments of head mounted displays and motion controllers, it is possible to superimpose user’s hands in a virtual space and studies of barehanded interaction with a virtual object has attracted attention. This study develops a system that allows a user to interact with a virtual object with his/her hands using a motion controller and a head mounted display. In this paper, we examine whether it is possible to reduce a visual uncomfortable feeling and to improve operability by using a hand model than has the same size and color as the user’s hand.
