“…We found that landmark coordinates annotated in VR were close to landmark coordinates annotated in Stratovan Checkpoint. Taking mouse and keyboard annotation as the reference, this implies that landmark annotation in VR is accurate, which is in line with the findings of Li et al (2021) . The accuracy achieved is of the same magnitude as the resolution of the 3D models.…”

“…This is another motivation behind our test of the performance of placing landmarks in VR as compared with a traditional 2D tool. Li et al (2021) show that when mouse and VR interfaces are used in a similar way, the haptic feedback helps improving marking accuracy. They do so by having the users interact with the virtual world through an asymmetric bimanual ( i.e .…”

“…The latter was thus easier to use and had as good overall accuracy as the 2D display and mouse interface. Interestingly, the results of Li et al (2021) suggest that marking accuracy in VR is less aﬀected by marking diﬃculty than when using a 2D interface. The task performance was thus more stable in VR than when using the traditional 2D tool.…”

“…Within the area of placing medical landmarks, Li et al (2021) performed a comparison of the traditional 2D display and mouse interface with two variants of the VR interface, one using standard VR controllers held in a power grip, and one using kinesthetic controllers held in a precision grip. Note that this study diﬀers from ours in another important respect: They show markers which the participants are supposed to target when annotating, whereas we consider the task of deciding where to place the point to be integral to the annotation task ( i.e .…”

To study the shape of objects using geometric morphometrics, landmarks are oftentimes collected digitally from a 3D scanned model. The expert may annotate landmarks using software that visualizes the 3D model on a flat screen, and interaction is achieved with a mouse and a keyboard. However, landmark annotation of a 3D model on a 2D display is a tedious process and potentially introduces error due to the perception and interaction limitations of the flat interface. In addition, digital landmark placement can be more time-consuming than direct annotation on the physical object using a tactile digitizer arm. Since virtual reality (VR) is designed to more closely resemble the real world, we present a VR prototype for annotating landmarks on 3D models. We study the impact of VR on annotation performance by comparing our VR prototype to Stratovan Checkpoint, a commonly used commercial desktop software. We use an experimental setup, where four operators placed six landmarks on six grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) skulls in six trials for both systems. This enables us to investigate multiple sources of measurement error. We analyse both for the configuration and for single landmarks. Our analysis shows that annotation in VR is a promising alternative to desktop annotation. We find that annotation precision is comparable between the two systems, with VR being significantly more precise for one of the landmarks. We do not find evidence that annotation in VR is faster than on the desktop, but it is accurate.

“…Xia et al [46] used a 3D mouse, Hsieh et al [47] created a special 3D tracker attached to medical tools, and Olsson et al [48] used a force feedback haptic device. Li et al [49] compared two haptic VR interfaces (a force feedback device and a handheld controller with vibrotactile feedback) and a 2D interface (a mouse) for the medical marking of 3D models of human anatomic structures and demonstrated their practical usability. The regular 2D mouse does not fit well for VR, as it has only 2 degrees-of-freedom (DoF) which is incompatible with the VR interaction requirements [50][51][52].…”

Virtual reality devices are used for several application domains, such as medicine, entertainment, marketing and training. A handheld controller is the common interaction method for direct object manipulation in virtual reality environments. Using hands would be a straightforward way to directly manipulate objects in the virtual environment if hand-tracking technology were reliable enough. In recent comparison studies, hand-based systems compared unfavorably against the handheld controllers in task completion times and accuracy. In our controlled study, we compare these two interaction techniques with a new hybrid interaction technique which combines the controller tracking with hand gestures for a rigid object manipulation task. The results demonstrate that the hybrid interaction technique is the most preferred because it is intuitive, easy to use, fast, reliable and it provides haptic feedback resembling the real-world object grab. This suggests that there is a trade-off between naturalness, task accuracy and task completion time when using these direct manipulation interaction techniques, and participants prefer to use interaction techniques that provide a balance between these three factors.
