Selection-based Text Entry in Virtual Reality
summary
Paper evaluates 6 selection methods for text entry in VR using consumer hardware: HTC Vive + Leap Motion + tracked controllers + gamepad. An experiment with 24 participants, 720 trials measures speed (WPM), corrected error rate, workload, motion sickness and UX. Controller pointing wins on speed, accuracy and preference with peak around ~15 WPM; isomorphic finger tapping and freehand perform poorly despite high novelty; continuous cursor reduces physical demand. The authors publish a flowchart of design guidelines.
