Investigating Remote Tactile Feedback for Mid-Air Text-Entry in Virtual Reality - Meta Research

At Meta, research permeates everything we do. We believe the most interesting research questions are derived from real world problems.

Investigating Remote Tactile Feedback for Mid-Air Text-Entry in Virtual Reality International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR) Abstract In this paper, we investigate the utility of remote tactile feedback for freehand text-entry on a mid-air Qwerty keyboard in VR. To that end, we use insights from prior work to design a virtual keyboard along with different forms of tactile feedback, both spatial and non-spatial, for fingers and for wrists. We report on a multi-session text-entry study with 24 participants where we investigated four vibrotactile feedback conditions:…
