The Use of Virtual Reality Controllers and Comparison Between Vive, Leap Motion and Senso Gloves Applied in The Anatomy Learning System

The availability of control devices that use hand and finger movements in virtual reality systems has an essential role in increasing the level of interaction in the virtual reality system. Hand and finger movements in a virtual reality system can be displayed either in the form of a controller that resembles its original shape or in the form of a virtual hand. The translation motion and rotation of the virtual reality controller can be used as input to the system. In addition, the virtual reality controllers allow the use of buttons or gestures as triggers on the system. Input in the form of translational and rotational movements on the virtual reality controller and its triggers can be applied to anatomical learning systems in a virtual reality environment. Virtual reality controller has a role as a system control tools. Different virtual reality controllers have different levels of feasibility to the system, similarity when used, and ease of learning. Therefore a comparison was performed on three virtual reality controllers that have different usage methods and features. The three tools chosen in this study are the VIVE Controller, Leap Motion Controller, and Senso Glove. These three tools have different ways of using and feature, including differences in touching the user or not, triggers in the form of buttons or gestures, and whether or not haptic feedback is available. The analysis of the use and its comparison between these three virtual reality controllers are the outcome of this study.
