    Summary

    This study introduces a novel optical hand-tracking system for virtual reality (VR) using dual head-mounted sensors. The system enhances natural interaction and immersion by overcoming occlusion and improving accuracy.

    Area of Science:

    • Virtual Reality (VR) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
    • Optical Sensor Technology
    • Gesture Recognition

    Background:

    • Optical hand tracking in VR faces challenges like sensor occlusion, limited field-of-view, and accuracy issues.
    • Existing systems often rely on single sensors or indirect interfaces (gloves, controllers), impacting naturalness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate an optical hand-based interaction system for VR using multiple head-mounted sensors.
    • To improve hand tracking data by combining and processing inputs from two Leap Motion sensors.
    • To compare the proposed system against glove-based and controller-based interactions regarding naturalness and immersion.

    Main Methods:

    • Implemented a system with two Leap Motion sensors mounted on a VR headset at different orientations.

  • Developed a data aggregation and processing pipeline to combine sensor data and minimize occlusion and noise.
  • Conducted a user study comparing the proposed system with glove-based and controller-based VR interactions.

    • Main Results:

    • The dual head-mounted sensor system with data aggregation significantly reduced occlusion and noise.
    • The proposed system increased the number of valid hands tracked compared to single-sensor approaches.
    • Users showed a strong preference for the proposed system, reporting more natural and immersive experiences.

    Conclusions:

    • The dual head-mounted optical sensor system offers a robust solution for accurate hand tracking in VR.
    • Eliminating indirect interfaces like gloves or controllers enhances the sense of naturalness and immersion in VR.
    • This approach represents a significant advancement in creating more intuitive and engaging virtual reality interactions.
