If the virtual environment system prevents the user's hand avatar from penetrating the object, the hand avatar must be placed somewhere other than the user's real hand position. I propose a technique, named MACBETH (Management of Avatar Conflict By Employment of a Technique Hybrid) for managing the position of a user's hand avatar in a natural manner after it has been separated from the user's real hand due to collision with a virtual object. This technique balances visual/proprioceptive discrepancy in position and velocity by choosing each so that they are equally detectable. |
