Showcase 2.0 Features / 4. Hand Tracking and Controller Support / Near Field UI Interaction

Time Estimate

15 Hours

Summary

Implement near-field interaction mechanics that enable users to press and manipulate UI elements with hand gestures or controllers, ensuring a natural and precise experience.

Key Goals

  • Provide users with intuitive interaction mechanics for pressing UI elements in close proximity.
  • Ensure near-field interactions are precise, responsive, and consistent across supported hardware.
  • Align interactions with VR usability standards to enhance user confidence and engagement.

Responsibilities

  • Develop mechanics for interacting with UI elements using near-field gestures or controller inputs.
  • Incorporate visual and auditory feedback to reinforce successful interactions.
  • Test near-field interactions for precision and usability across all supported hardware.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Users can interact with near-field UI elements intuitively and without errors.
  • Feedback mechanisms clearly indicate successful actions.
  • Near-field interaction mechanics integrate seamlessly with existing UI systems.

Risks and Mitigations

  • Risk: Near-field interactions feel imprecise or unresponsive.
    Mitigation: Optimize gesture recognition and provide clear visual and auditory feedback.
  • Risk: Hardware-specific inconsistencies lead to varied user experiences.
    Mitigation: Conduct extensive testing across all supported devices to ensure consistency.

Success Metrics

  • 90% of users report near-field interactions as intuitive and responsive during testing.
  • Interaction success rates exceed 95% across supported hardware.
  • Near-field interactions are rated highly for usability and precision in feedback surveys.
