VR Interaction
and Haptics
Introduction to VR Interaction

Definition:
• Interaction in VR refers to the ways users engage with the
virtual environment.
Importance:
• Enhances immersion and usability.

Types:
• Gesture-based, controller-based, voice commands, full-body
tracking.
User Interaction Methods in VR

Direct • Users manipulate objects as if they


Interaction: were physically present.
Indirect • Using controllers, menus, or external
Interaction: devices.
Gaze-Based
• Selecting objects by looking at them.
Interaction:
Haptic
• Providing touch-based responses.
Feedback:
Hand Tracking in VR

Definition: Detecting and analyzing hand movements


for natural interaction.

Techniques: Infrared sensors, motion tracking gloves,


AI-based vision recognition.

Applications: Virtual training, sign language


recognition, gaming.
Example - Hand Tracking
Calculation
Haptic Feedback in VR

Definition: Simulating the sense of touch in


VR.

Types: Vibration feedback, force feedback,


texture simulation.

Devices: Haptic gloves, suits, motion


controllers.
