Title
AnywhereTouch: Finger Tracking Method on Arbitrary Surface Using Nailed-Mounted IMU for Mobile HMD.
Abstract
Owing to the development of mobile head mounted display (HMD)s, a mobile input device is becoming necessary in order to manipulate virtual objects which are displayed in an HMD anytime and anywhere. There have been many research studies using ray-casting technique for 3D interactions using an HMD. However, traditional ray-casting-based interactions have limitations of usability due to additional cumbersome input devices along with their limited recognition area. In this paper, we propose the AnywhereTouch, a finger tracking method using nailed-mounted inertial measurement unit (IMU) to allow a user to easily manipulate a virtual object on arbitrary surfaces. The AnywhereTouch activates recognizing process for touch input events when a user’s finger touches on an arbitrary surface. It calculates the initial angle of rotation between a finger and the arbitrary surface. Then the AnywhereTouch tracks the position of a fingertip using inverse kinematics models with the angle detected by the IMU. The AnywhereTouch also recognizes tap and release gestures through analyzing changes of acceleration and angular velocity. We expect the AnywhereTouch to provide effective manipulation for the adoption of anywhere touching gesture recognition in the mobile HMD.
