Proposal of Character Input Method in VR Environment using Leap Motion

Although the number of VR users is increasing, a comfortable character input method in the VR environment has not been established. In this study we developed a system that can input letters without moving the arm, by using Leap Motion. Experimental results showed that both input accuracy and input speed do not reach the existing input method at the present time. In the future, we will improve this by fixing the keyboard in space and fixing the relative position of the hand to the keyboard.
