The current
state of current displays and interactive tools is limited. Indeed a mouse
and a keyboard provide limited efficiency when it comes to manipulating 3D
objects. Monitors are flat 2D screens with a limited FOV. Joystics and mises
have few degrees of freedom, a joystic has in average 3 to 4 degrees of
freedom as opposed to our had which has 27 degrees of freedom and is more
natural to use to manipulate objects, therefore more intuitiveness would be
added by use of our hands. That is why Gloves and styluses as the phantom
which provide a higher degree of freedom has been used, but these have the
disadvantage of having a physical connection. Trackers as the polymous also
have been used, but these are electromagnetic tracker that needs a combersum
physical connection. Likewise for head mounted displays who provide a better
...
We need to
create a system, that has the advantages of a wide field of view, high degree
of freedom, stereoscopic, and yet be intuitive and not requiring any
combersom physical connections...
