“…Yu et al [27] assessed three text input methods: DwellType, TapType, and Gesture-Type, finding that users tended to use GestureType and TapType and were less satisfied with DwellType. Dudley et al [28] compared a physically attached keyboard to a hovering keyboard in virtual reality (VR) for input efficiency, revealing that physical alignment improved speed and accuracy, albeit limiting usage scenarios compared to the more flexible hovering keyboard [29]. Adhikary and Vertanen [11] found voice input superior to keyboard input in speed and accuracy.…”

Data input within mixed reality environments poses significant interaction challenges, notably in immersive visual analytics applications. This study assesses five numerical input techniques: three benchmark methods (Touch-Slider, Keyboard, Pinch-Slider) and two innovative multimodal techniques (Bimanual Scaling, Gesture and Voice). An experimental design was employed to compare these techniques’ input efficiency, accuracy, and user experience across varying precision and distance conditions. The findings reveal that multimodal techniques surpass slider methods in input efficiency yet are comparable to keyboards; the voice method excels in reducing cognitive load but falls short in accuracy; and the scaling method marginally leads in user satisfaction but imposes a higher physical load. Furthermore, this study outlines these techniques’ pros and cons and offers design guidelines and future research directions.

“…Advancements in VR, MR, AR, for short, XR, overcome physical limitations and enable flexible and portable workspaces that can be employed everywhere [6,24,33,42,43,50]. While VR presents a purely virtual environment, OST AR enables users to perceive the real world with virtual content optically superimposed.…”

“…XR overcomes the physical limitations of traditional seated and stationary workspaces, enabling flexible and portable work in Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR), for short, XR. While XR workspaces can be employed everywhere [6,24,33,42,43,50], they also require versatile text input techniques. Despite virtual and physical keyboards, handwriting text input has great potential, offering unique advantages like natural intuitiveness, flexibility, and expressiveness.…”

In our study, participants used handwriting for text input in Virtual Reality (VR) (A, E) or Video See-Through Augmented Reality (VST AR) (B, F) on physically aligned (A, B, C) and mid-air (D, E, F) surfaces. For VR, we created a digital twin of the real room and aligned it precisely. The controller was held in a pen-like posture to mimic a stylus. To detect surface contact, we used the controller's pressure-sensitive tip on the physical surface and an orthogonal distance-based approach in mid-air. Participants wrote simple and complex sentences. The example shows the simple sentence, "It should be sunny tomorrow."

Fig. 1: The virtual keyboard layout is based on the traditional layout of physical keyboards. (A) Shows the tap keyboard in video see-through augmented reality (VST AR) and (B) the swipe keyboard in virtual reality (VR) with a black tail following the user's controller. For the VR condition, we created an accurate digital twin of the real physical room. In the VST AR condition, the real world was captured by the video see-through capabilities of the XR device. To enable precise interaction, the user holds the controller upside down in a pen-like posture and presses/swipes the virtual keyboard keys with the bottom tip of the controller. Three word suggestions are displayed in the upper left. The arrow keys to move the cursor and the backspace key are located in the upper right. The cursor can also be positioned directly in the input field. The shift keys and the space bar are hidden on the swipe keyboard because they are not required for text entry. Rectangular 3D keys provide visual feedback, and when pressed, the controllers vibrate.
