A Novel Menu Interaction Method Using Head-mounted Display for Smartphone-based Virtual Reality

摘要

The menu interaction design method for smartphone-based VR is currently one of the most popular research domains. The existing menu interaction method can be generally divided into two categories: the interaction devices based method and ray selection based method. However, both of them have some inevitable defects, which lead to bad user experience. In this paper, a novel interaction method is proposed, combining the advantages of the ray selection technology and HMD technology. And a smartphone-based VR application demonstration named "Target Arena" is developed. In addition, the user experience is evaluated by conducting a survey on several aspects of the demonstration system such as portability, controllability, comfort degree, and overall user experience. Experimental results show that the menu interaction method proposed in the paper performs better than other existing methods.
