Head-Tracking Based Technique for Moving On-Screen Objects on Head Mounted Displays (HMD)

摘要

A headset computer or head mounted display combines voice command and head tracking movement for cursor control and operation. Different display characteristics of the cursor are used for different modes of cursor operation. For a given mode of operation of the cursor, the user can issue a voice command for certain operations, and can move or reposition the cursor in a screen view using head tracking commands. Different modes of operation may be changed using voice commands or gestures.
