“…In contrast to many prior immersive systems, Immersive Analytics needs to support a multitude of different, often complex analysis tasks; simple direct manipulation techniques may not be sufficient. For instance, annotation is a key task in most analysis workflows, leaving room to investigate the use and productivity of text entry modalities in Immersive Analytics [33].…”

Ubiquitous technology lets us work in flexible and decentralised ways. Passengers can already use travel time to be productive, and we envision even better performance and experience in vehicles with emerging technologies, such as virtual reality (VR) headsets. However, the confined physical space constrains interactions while the virtual space may be conceptually borderless. We therefore conducted a VR study (N = 33) to examine the influence of physical restraints and virtual working environments on performance, presence, and the feeling of safety. Our findings show that virtual borders make passengers touch the car interior less, while performance and presence are comparable across conditions. Although passengers prefer a secluded and unlimited virtual environment (nature), they are more productive in a shared and limited one (office). We further discuss choices for virtual borders and environments, social experience, and safety responsiveness. Our work highlights opportunities and challenges for future research and design of rear-seat VR interaction.

“…Text input has been extensively studied. For an in-depth exploration of previous interfaces and how their performance compares, see Dube and Arif's 2019 survey [15], Speicher et al 's 2018 selectionbased text entry comparison [50], or Boletsis and Kongsvig's controller-based comparison [5]. Here, we present an overview of the predominant interface types and a discussion of the most relevant pen-based text input techniques.…”

Figure 1: Left: A user manipulates a pen-shaped stylus to enter text in a virtual reality CAVE, where traditional keyboard interaction limits mobility. Center: The Tilt-Type interface uses small finger motions to tilt the stylus along two axes, changing the selected character in a binned layout. Right: The Arc-Type interface uses a rotational gesture and interactions with a touch slider to select characters from a radial layout.
