Abstract:
This study designs and evaluates a novel one-handed gesture-based control method for teleportation within a VR game space. For three different stages, we measured travel time, number of moving maneuvers, and accuracy in achieving checkpoints, and used two questionnaires, NASA-TLX and SUS, to evaluate the subject’s workload and the usability of proposed system. It was suggested that the proposed teleportation method using hand gestures is appropriate for games that require agility, such as action games, and is less tiring and has better ease of use than the previous method and a method on existing products.
