DexController : Hand-Held Controller Recognizing Grasp-Pose and Grasp-Force in Virtual Reality Defense Game

摘要: We developed a hand-held controller named DexController, leveraging grasp as an additional input modality for virtual reality(VR) game. The pressure-sensitive surface of DexController could recognize two different grasp-poses (i.e. precision grip and power grip) detect grasp-force. For demonstration, we designed VR defense game in which players should attack enemies using the proper weapon with level force. User study confirmed that utilizing meaningful information grasping facilitates natural mapping contents, led users to experience enhanced presence enjoyment.
