Abstract
This work investigates the feasibility of alternative means of physical interaction in VEs and is aimed at analysing whether humans can re-map established body function to learn and understand to interact with digital information in a cross-sensory environment. A further point is to attempt to establish a connection between learning, control of the interface and the degree of presence in the environment.
Although the interface may not be used in work-oriented shared environments, we also examine how cross-sensory environments are received by multiple users and whether it is a factor for establishing a sense of communication and co-awareness. The application enables cross-sensory interaction by visualising aspects of the user’s voice and, more concretely, map actions to a certain response.
A series of user studies show that users can gain control of such an intuitive interface and learn to adapt to new and previously unseen tasks in VEs.
