Radial Text Input in Virtual Reality
Jan Niklas Schlichting Ishan Sharma
Text input is still one of the primary modes of interacting with a technology. In recent years, Virtual Reality has seen a drastic increase in popularity, requiring more research on text input methods. In the following report we discuss the design, prototyping and evaluation of two variations of a radial text input system. The radial design was able to perform at 6.32 and 5.76 WPM, with significantly lower fatigue levels than floating QWERTY layout. The report also discusses a model for developing keyboards in Virtual Reality.
