Description

Design and prototype a ring that provides AR control via a tiny touch/scroll surface and tap/double-tap gestures.

The ring streams input to the Snap Spectacles, mapping gestures to common tasks (e.g., scrubbing a clipping plane, scaling/rotating an object, timeline seek, menu navigation).

Tasks

  1. Conduct a comprehensive review of the state of the art in ring-based interaction for AR.
  2. Manufacture a piece of hardware that can register tap/slide input in the format of a ring (or ring-like).
  3. Implement a control interface within Lens Studio.
  4. Design and conduct a user study to evaluate the effectiveness and user perception of ring-based interactions compared to gestures (pinching).

This topic’s tasks can be combined for a PR, a BA or for a MA.

Requirements

  • English (source code, comments, and final report should be in English)
  • Lens Studio experience – preferable, but not mandatory
  • Experience with Arduino or similar boards – preferable, but not mandatory
  • Interest in experimenting with hardware for a unique AR experience
