Abstract:
With the increasing trend toward diversification of display devices, the development of displays with curved, folded, or spherical surfaces, has become popular in recent years. At the same time, a new Three-Dimensional (3D) pointing device is required to provide effective user interaction for 3D displays. This study attempts to develop a new 3D pointing device with an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor, a flexible mechanism, and haptic feedback. For the haptic, we adopt both active and passive haptic feedback. Here, we perform experiments with the prototyped device to verify the effects of the flexible mechanism and haptic on 3D pointing. Experiments confirmed that the haptic has a significant impact on 3D pointing, enabling more accurate input operations. However, the flexible mechanism was not significantly assisting the adjustment of the input to the depth.
