3D INTERACTION INPUT FOR TEXT IN AUGMENTED REALITY

A method, computer system, and computer program product for implementing three-dimensional text input in an augmented reality system are provided. The embodiment may include capturing a first user hand position along a first axis of a three-dimensional virtual space. The embodiment may also include identifying a first character along the first axis corresponding to the first user hand position. The embodiment may further include capturing a second user hand position along a second axis of the three-dimensional virtual space. The embodiment may also include identifying a second character along the second axis corresponding to the second user hand position. The embodiment may further include identifying one or more proposed words beginning, consecutively, with the identified first character and the identified second character using a dictionary database. The embodiment may also include displaying the one or more identified proposed words on a third axis of the three-dimensional virtual space.
