With the use of an immersive display system such as CAVE system, the user is
able to realize a 3D immersive virtual environment realistically. However, interacting
with virtual worlds in CAVE systems using traditional input devices to perform easy
operations such as manipulation, object selection, and navigation is often difficult.
This difficulty could diminish the immersion and sense of presence when it comes to 3D
virtual environment tasks. Our research aims to implement and evaluate alternative
approaches of interaction with immersive virtual environments on mobile devices for
manipulation and object selection tasks. As many researchers have noted, using a
mobile device as an interaction device has a number of advantages, including built-in
display, built-in control, and touch screen facility. These advantages facilitate simple
tasks within immersive virtual environments. This research proposes new methods
using mobile devices like Smart-phones to perform diāµerent kinds of interactions both
as an input device, (e.g. performing selection and manipulation of objects) and as
an output device (e.g. utilizing the screen as an extra view for a virtual camera
or information display). Moreover, we developed a prototype system to demonstrate
and informally evaluate these methods. The research conclusion suggests using mobile
devices as a 3D-controller. This will be a more intuitive approach to interact within
the virtual environment.
