ABSTRACT
In recent years, with the performance improvement of mobile devices and the increasing popularity of the mobile Head Mounted Display (HMD), more scholars are actively involved in the research of the operation of Mobile VR HMDs. However, most control methods require additional accessory, and the interactive functions are often limited and inefficient. This paper proposes an intuitive virtual navigation system suitable for general mobile HMDs. The system, which requires no additional accessory, completes the analysis and determinations of various navigation commands, as based on the built-in six-axis sensor in mobile smartphones, thus, allowing users to interact intuitively and effectively in the 3D virtual scenes, and improving the control effectiveness and navigation effects of the Mobile VR HMD.

Navigation in virtual environments using head-mounted displays
User behaviors while navigating virtual environments (VEs) using head-mounted displays (HMDs) were investigated. Particularly, spatial behaviors were observed and analyzed with respect to the virtual navigation preferences and performance. For this, two ...
Thinning trainer based on forest-growth model, virtual reality and computer-aided virtual environment
Immersive virtual reality is applied in many human activities. This virtual reality can be used as a training tool for thinning operations in forests. The aim of this study is to describe the complex solution of Thinning Trainer, that we developed. This ...
Differences in virtual and physical head orientation predict sickness during active head-mounted display-based virtual reality
AbstractDuring head-mounted display (HMD)-based virtual reality (VR), head movements and motion-to-photon-based display lag generate differences in our virtual and physical head pose (referred to as DVP). We propose that large-amplitude, time-varying ...
