SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMMERSIVE PHYSICAL INTERACTION WITH A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A system for immersive physical interaction includes a hand position and orientation tracker that tracks a first hand position and a first hand orientation of a first hand of a user and tracks a second hand position and a second hand orientation of a second hand of the user; a physical criteria generator comprising a body physics simulator that simulates avatar motion and a constrained object interaction system that manages virtual object coupling; and an input translator that translates the first hand position and the first hand orientation into a first virtual hand position and a first virtual hand orientation of a user avatar in a virtual environment and translates the second hand position and the second hand orientation into a second virtual hand position and a second virtual hand orientation of the user avatar.

1. A method for immersive physical interaction includes:
receiving constrained object interaction criteria; tracking a first hand position and a first hand orientation of a first hand of a user; tracking a second hand position and a second hand orientation of a second hand of the user; translating the first hand position and the first hand orientation into a first virtual hand position and a first virtual hand orientation of a user avatar in a virtual environment; upon satisfaction of a coupling proximity threshold by a proximity of a first interaction point of a virtual object and the first virtual hand position, coupling the virtual object, at the first interaction point, to the user avatar; and modifying the position and orientation of the virtual object based on the first virtual hand position, the first virtual hand orientation, and the constrained object interaction criteria.
