| Abstract | Alphanumeric input is often required in many computer applications. Virtual reality (VR) applications are no exception. For instance, enabling the alphanumeric input can augment a typical VR based walkthrough system so that the user can make notes and annotations. However, methods for efficient alphanumeric input for HMD-based VR systems have only been treated in a limited way. A most typical approach is to use a virtual keyboard so that the users can leverage upon one's typing skill. However, such an approach requires intricate and difficult finger tracking and poses usability problems. Thus, we propose to use a real keyboard as a tangible interface to the virtual keyboard and provide natural haptic/tactile feedback. Instead of tracking the fingers with cumbersome devices, this paper demonstrates that finger positions can be approximated at sufficient accuracy for the typing task by only tracking the two hands. The concept of continuous calibration is introduced to compensate for the dynamically changing errors from the tracking devices, sensor positions, keyboard positions and assumed default hand sizes. The proposed alphanumeric input system is empirically compared to that of the real through an experiment, and the results show that users can indeed obtain near-real performance out of such a system. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
