A survey on human-computer interaction in virtual reality

Abstract

Human computer interaction is one of the core technologies of virtual reality, which has an important significance on promoting the widely use of virtual reality and improving the user experience. Due to the development of various sensors and hardwares, human computer interaction technology in virtual reality has made remarkable progress. This paper firstly introduces the paradigm of human computer interaction in virtual reality, and then makes a summary about the main research contents and development trends of various virtual reality and augmented reality technologies, including 3D interaction, hand gesture interaction, handheld devices interaction, speech interaction, haptic interaction and multimodal interaction. Finally, the paper proposes some existing problems that need to be further studied.
