“…Endert et al [20] also state that "the degree of the curvature is somewhat up to personal preference, but we suggest that curving the display to a configuration where the user is equidistant from all areas of the display". It has been suggested that each virtual piece of content should effectively fit within the comfortable field of view of the headset so that parts are not cut off [72], with task time being optimal if the display size is a maximum of ¾of the headset field of view due to reduced head motion [25].…”

“…The frame of reference needs to be considered because both exo-and egocentric frames imply certain layouts: in the former, with content placed in the world, aligned with physical features; in the latter, with content placed around the user in a variety of configurations e.g. vertically or horizontally, two-plus-two [66], or oriented toward the user as in the "personal cockpit" [23,25], etc. However, as shown in the personal cockpit, egocentric-type layouts are optimal when exocentrically placed, i.e.…”

“…height for seated and standing usage [66]). With respect to how content should be oriented when placed around a single point in world space, it has been suggested that displays should be oriented toward/curved around the point to maximize legibility in spherical configurations [25], with the user placed offset to this centre to create a less claustrophobic arrangement [71].…”

“…Menus are widely studied for interaction in 3D environments for tasks such as navigation, selection, manipulation and system control [7,10]. Besides differences in size, geometry and layout, menus in 3D could vary based on the position and whether they are context menus displayed around the object, menus attached to the user's arm/hand [8,17,31]) or head-centered menus [6,15]. Various techniques have been proposed for interaction with menus including hand-or head-based raypointing techniques or more intuitive control based on real world gestural manipulation without controllers [23,31,37].…”

In 2D interfaces, actions are often represented by fixed tools arranged in menus, palettes, or dedicated parts of a screen, whereas 3D interfaces afford their arrangement at different depths relative to the user and the user can move them relative to each other. In this paper we introduce EyeSeeThrough as a novel interaction technique that utilises eye-tracking in VR. The user can apply an action to an intended object by visually aligning the object with the tool at the line-of-sight, and then issue a confirmation command. The underlying idea is to merge the two-step process of 1) selection of a mode in a menu and 2) applying it to a target, into one unified interaction. We present a user study where we compare the method to the baseline two-step selection. The results of our user study showed that our technique outperforms the two step selection in terms of speed and comfort. We further developed a prototype of a virtual living room to demonstrate the practicality of the proposed technique.

“…The space to the periphery, would suffer both from blending and lower brightness, being more appropriate for holding peripheral content. Adapting the shape as the user moves ( Figure 9(B)) can keep contents within reach or even at constant positions relative to the user (central or peripheral), as a reduced version of the personal Cockpit [9].…”

Figure 1. (A) MistForm is a shape-changing fog screen, enabling single user and two user interaction (B) with 2D or 3D content. (C) We describe a computational approach and projection algorithm which work together to minimize artifacts (shape distortion and uneven brightness) related to projecting on a shape changing fog display (note parallel edges and brightness in the checkerboard). ABSTRACTWe present MistForm, a shape changing fog display that can support one or two users interacting with either 2D or 3D content. Mistform combines affordances from both shape changing interfaces and mid-air displays. For example, a concave display can maintain content in comfortable reach for a single user, while a convex shape can support several users engaged on individual tasks. MistForm also enables unique interaction possibilities by exploiting the synergies between shape changing interfaces and mid-air fog displays. For instance, moving the screen will affect the brightness and blurriness of the screen at specific locations around the display, creating spaces with similar (collaboration) or different visibility (personalized content). We describe the design of MistForm and analyse its inherent challenges, such as image distortion and uneven brightness on dynamic curved surfaces. We provide a machine learning approach to characterize the shape of the screen and a rendering algorithm to remove aberrations. We finally explore novel interactive possibilities and reflect on their potential and limitations.
