Research on Virtual Reality Games Using Hands as User Interface for Oculus Quest

Abstract

Recently, numerous VR (Virtual Reality) and AR (Augmented Reality) devices have emerged, and most of the contents on these devices rely on controllers for user interaction. However, controllers have drawbacks that it is difficult to carry, and prone to loss. Moreover, users unfamiliar with the devices may find that the controls are inconvenient. To address these issues, the developed Oculus Quest has introduced hand tracking technology, allowing users to use hand gestures as an interface. However, methods utilizing hand tracking have not been widely researched yet due to its difficulties. This study explores methods that use hands to interact with VR content, and explains how to create a content with it. Also, this study describes its limitation.
