Abstract:
In the Virtual Reality (VR) environment, the user needs to input information and achieves interaction with virtual objects. At present, most VR systems provide some input devices, such as keyboard and controller. However, using such devices is not intuitive, especially in the case of VR shopping system. In the real world, we use our hands to handle objects. In virtual world, using hand gestures to interact with VR shopping store will provide us more intuitive VR shopping experience. According to the needs of the room-scale VR shopping activities, we have introduced a new gesture classification for the gesture set, which has three levels to classify hand gestures based on the characteristics of gestures. We have focused on the gestures in level 3. In our research, we have built a room-scale VR shopping system and applied the new hand gesture set for the interaction in the VR shopping system.
