Take-Away

  • Sensors on the headset provide a viable IoT computer graphics device
  • Fine manipulation vs. easy manipulation are application dependent
  • Voice commands have a memory component
  • Ability to manipulate objects from a distance is important
  • What shows up on the screen and in lens are not the same. Usability screening is necessary.
