What we did:We designed two interaction concepts that leverage the user's palm as a 2D interactive surface for head-mounted displays.
What we found:We found that palm-based interactions can significantly enhance user experience and usability when interfacing with augmented reality and head-up display systems.
Takeaway:Our work contributes to advancing interaction modalities for head-mounted displays, suggesting that palm-based interfaces can provide more intuitive and enjoyable user experiences.
Abstract
Head-mounted displays (HMDs) are an emerging class of wearable devices that allow users to access and alter information right in front of their eyes. However, due to their size and shape, traditional input modalities (e.g., multi-touch sensing on the device) are not practical. In this position paper, we argue that palm-based interactions have a great potential to ease the interaction with HMDs. We outline two interaction concepts and present directions for future research that can lead to more enjoyable and usable interfaces for HMDs.
