Pointing Task Evaluation of Gestural Interface Interaction in 3D Virtual Environment

Navigating, pointing, and manipulating objects in a virtual environment has been subject of research for many years now. With new interaction devices coming to the market, optimal ways of interacting in virtual environments are still to be determined. Verbeek & Coelho experimented with the Leap Motion sensor that is capable of sensing hand gestures and compare its performance to that of other 3D input devices.
