Abstract [en]

As Virtual Reality enters professional domains, efficient text entry remains challenging due to limited tactile feedback and ergonomics. We present a novel Virtual Reality keyboard that integrates a smartphone-like layout, hover effects, dynamic colors, haptic feedback (SenseGlove Nova 2), auditory cues, and a key-weighting mechanism. In a study (N = 11), our design was compared with a curved MRTK keyboard. Although the MRTK keyboard yielded faster speeds (8.99 vs. 7.47 WPM) and higher accuracy (92.14% vs. 86.85%), our custom design offered a more engaging and ergonomic experience with improved comfort over prolonged use. These findings underscore the potential of multimodal feedback for advancing VR text entry.
