Abstract

Nowadays we see an increase of interest in immersive technologies connected with new modes of
communication. With novel devices possibilities open for research in the field of Human-Computer Interfaces
(HCI) and Virtual Reality (VR). This project is focused on the creation of interactive virtual reality scenery and on
the verification of usefulness of different interfaces in such contexts. We designed a virtual urban space that is
accessible to users through VR goggles: Oculus Rift paired with Leap Motion. We prepared an experiment to
test how well users can interact in proposed virtual environment through this setup. Results show that in
simple tasks users can quickly learn on their own how to use given interface without tutoring.
