Abstract

In this paper, we explore asymmetric bimanual interaction with mobile Virtual Reality (VR). We have developed a novel two handed interface for mobile VR which uses a 6 degree of freedom (DoF) controller input for the dominant hand and full-hand gesture input for the non-dominant hand. We evaluated our method in a pilot study by comparing it to three other asymmetric bimanual interfaces (1) 3D controller and 2D touch-pad, (2) 3D gesture and 2D controller, and (3) 3D gesture and 2D touchpad in a VR translation and rotation task.We observed that using our position aware handheld controller with gesture input provided an easy and natural experience.
