Abstract
the off-the-shelf virtual reality community is well aware of the wide variety of inexpensive and robust tracking and display technologies that have emerged from the entertainment industry in recent years. Alongside these developments, there has also been a vast improvement in the accessibility and usability of hobbyist-grade electronics components, which make incorporating lower-level sensing and actuation components into virtual reality systems feasible for even novices in electronics. Combined, these developments have formed the foundation for a renaissance of do-it-yourself interface device prototyping. Development of novel virtual reality interface devices has been simplified to the point that it can be commonplace in virtual reality system design, rather than an exception. This article discusses a variety of ways in which off-the-shelf electronics and devices can be leveraged and combined in virtual reality experiences, and the knowledge required to begin exploring possibilities, through case studies in prototyping virtual reality experiences.
Highlights
With an increased focus on motion-based and natural interfaces, the gaming industry has created a wide variety of readily accessible, 3RII-the-VKHOI YLUWXDO UHDOLW\ HTXLSPHQW 7KLV off-the-shelf equipment has vastly reduced the barriers to entry into immersive virtual reality (VR) development, reduced costs in the virtual reality industry, and increased the ubiquity of virtual reality devices
We discuss tools and technologies associated with DIY development in VR, and case studies of projects that demonstrate DIY interface device development as a part of virtual reality experience design
To illustrate the potential of DIY interface device prototyping in virtual reality, we consider virtual reality systems and interface device prototypes that have been created in our laboratory, many as student projects, but that utilize DIY off-the-shelf VR devices, electronics platforms, and often a combination thereof
Summary
With an increased focus on motion-based and natural interfaces, the gaming industry has created a wide variety of readily accessible, 3RII-the-VKHOI YLUWXDO UHDOLW\ HTXLSPHQW 7KLV off-the-shelf equipment has vastly reduced the barriers to entry into immersive virtual reality (VR) development, reduced costs in the virtual reality industry, and increased the ubiquity of virtual reality devices. While this trend has received a great deal of attention [1, 2], another trend has emerged that may have profound consequences: simplified electronics platforms for sensing and actuation.
