Abstract
This paper proposes a method to prioritize the virtual objects to be selected, considering both the user's hand and the geometric relationship with the virtual objects and the user's intention which is recognized in advance. Picking up virtual objects in VR content is an essential and most commonly used interaction. When virtual objects are located close to each other in VR, a situation occurs in which virtual objects that are different from the user's intention are selected. To address this issue, this paper provides different weights for user intentions and distance between user's hand and virtual objects to derive priorities in order to generate interactions appropriately according to the situation. We conducted the experiment in the situation where the number of virtual objects and the distance between virtual objects are diversified. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method when the density between virtual objects is high and the distance between each other is close, user satisfaction increases to 20.34% by increasing the weight ratio of the situation awareness. We expect the proposed method to contribute to improving interaction skills that can reflect users' intentions.
