Researchers Catalog 170+ Text Input Techniques to Improve Typing in XR

Road to VR

He previously worked at Meta where he pioneered work on hand inputs and haptics for VR. Our research also indicates that haptic feedback, the presence of external surfaces, and fingertip-only visualization are preferable ways to improve typing performance. Perhaps because it also requires high learning curves.

The Ghost Howls

Ndreams announced Synapse 2, but only for Google Cardboard, and Voodoo DE showed a preview of a very futuristic device. The mixed reality mode lets you put the machines in your room as if it were an arcade, and this is pretty cool Wanderer: Fragments Of Fate is a pretty solid game featuring very well-thought-out puzzles.

TapID Uses Bone Conduction To Deliver A Better Typing Experience In VR

VRScout

Developers have explored potential solutions in the past, such as Google Daydream’s ultra-fun Drum Keys or Logitech’s VR compatible keyboards. Those sensors are used to detect the rapid touch of your fingertips hitting a physical flat surface to provide haptic feedback as you type out words on a virtual keyboard.

But AR/VR solutions are not limited to Google Glass, mobile apps for trying on shoes or accessories, and AR-based games. Additionally, engineers train Deep Learning algorithms to accurately detect markers in live video data. Natural language processing (NLP) algorithms make machine translation from one language to another possible.

The XR Week Peek (2021.03.22): Sony reveals PSVR2 controllers, FRL shows the wristband of the future, and more!

The Ghost Howls

Sony promises amazing haptic sensations on the controllers, that should be able to provide “impactful, textured, and nuanced” sensations. Facebook is also working with haptics, and it has presented two prototypes of the wristbands that could apply vibrations or pressure sensations on the wrist. It will so have inside-out tracking.

Meta and the next 24 months crucial for its leadership

The Ghost Howls

The Quest 2 is a great gaming machine offered at a ridiculous price, and it has totally crushed the competition. Just to make an example, I was there when there was the Netscape vs Internet Explorer war, but now the leading web browser is Google Chrome. That’s why it is a player we must consider very seriously.
