Overview

Task

Description

REPEAT

Select the stone teapot.
Navigate to blue teapot.
Match position and orientation of the two teapots.
On correct match, teapots disappear and two new teapots appear in random positions in the environment.

Time between object matching and object regeneration -

1 second.

 Number of repetitions to complete task -

10 matches

 Tolerance for correct match -

Position = within 0.02m,
Orientation  = all 3 axes must be within 20.0 degrees

 Random position bound -

Generation within a box defined by Pmin(-2.5,0.6,-3.5) Pmax(3.5,1.6,4)  (i.e. a box 6m x 7.5m by 1m high).

 

Interaction Metaphors Tested

 

Ray Casting and Virtual Hand

 

Navigation Method

 

Pointing. Point with wand in direction of travel d, use joystick to move forwards and backwards along d. Travel constrained along ground plane and also constrained within environment boundary.

Environment

 

Simple rectangular kitchen. Environment size is 8m x 10m by 3m high. Contains some non-interactive objects to aid navigation (3 chairs, windmill, cupboards). Lit by 5 Point light sources, placed on ceiling at corners and in center.
