Predictive text entry in immersive environments

McCaul, Barry and Sutherland, Alistair (2004) Predictive text entry in immersive environments. In: IEEE Virtual Reality 2004, 27-31 March 2004, Chicago, Illinois.

Abstract
One of the classic problems with immersive environments is data entry; with a head-mounted display (HMD) the user can no longer see the keyboard. Although for many applications data entry is not a requirement, for some it is essential: communicating in collaborative environments, entering a filename to which work can be saved, or accessing system controls. Combining data gloves and a graphically represented keyboard with a predictive spelling paradigm, we describe an effective text entry technique for immersive environments; we explore the key issues when using such a technique, and report the results of preliminary usability testing.
