ViBlock: Block-shaped Content Manipulation in VR
VR is increasingly becoming an interaction platform that allows users to display and manipulate various digital content such as text, computer graphic, 3D model, animation and sound in a 3D space. We seek an enjoyable interface to manage large set of digital content. We propose ViBlock (Virtual Interactive Block) a novel block interface in VR that creates enjoyable experiences through natural and playful interactions with block-shaped content. This is based on the well-known building block metaphor and tangible user interfaces, and it allows users to grasp block-shaped content arranged in a 3D space and customize their representations by composing multiple blocks.
