VR Slider Prototype [Hand Tracking, Direct Manipulation]
In this version, I used hand tracking as input. Pinching feels very natural but the lack of tactile feedback increases the number of cognitive efforts you spend to successfully interact with it: there is no haptic feedback; slow movement tracking; and low precision.
Pros:
— Fun
Cons:
— Slow and low
— Restricted by body movement (arms, back).
Can be used for video game cases, but for casual-routine apps the accuracy and precision of hands-based interactions are too low at the moment, which makes it useless for professional usage.
