Maximising the Transferability of Interaction Techniques for Immersive Technologies

A key factor encompassing immersive technologies is interaction, and the input methods employed to manipulate an interface. Nevertheless, barriers surrounding interaction and usability continue to hinder the development and potential of immersive technologies, with researchers having difficulties taking applications from laboratory environments to real use cases [5]. Therefore, the proposed PhD research aims to identify how natural input methods are best implemented in regards to commonplace tasks in immersive environments, and uncover how user approaches adapt depending on changes in environmental factors, the context of interaction and the hardware employed.
