R&D : VR Visualization and interaction with hands

Author	Posts
Romaric Keymaster	In order to get a better immersion in our VR software, we are experimenting with replacing controllers avatars by hand models. Fingers are controlled by triggering 3 buttons on the controller : one for thumb, one for forefinger, and one for the three other fingers. At this first step, we can have a better immersion, but we still have the same interaction as for controllers. We are now working on new ways to interact with a model : maybe triggering an animation touching a surface with a finger, or defining some gestures to define actions… In Accel VR 2021.1, we have already integrated the hand avatars, (still with controller behaviors), to let you test and give us feedback about this. Just choose Hand avatar in the list of controller avatars in Accel VR settings. What do you think about it ? Published on 4 February 2021 at 9 h 11 min
