Abstract

In this poster, we present a novel approach for manipulating remote objects in an immersive environment using dynamic magnifying lenses. These lenses are created seamlessly as the user focuses his gaze on an object, expanding the target object. The expanded object can then be manipulated as if the user was standing next to it. To determine its effectiveness, this interface was evaluated against three other well known interaction techniques - direct manipulation, Go-Go hand, and HOMER. Testing showed that the lens interface was superior in accuracy to the others, but it took more time to complete a given task.
