Text Entry in Virtual Reality; Implementation of FLIK method and Text Entry Test-bed

We present new testing software for text entry techniques. Text entry is the act of entering text via some interaction technique into a machine or monitor, common text entry techniques are the typical QWERTY keyboard, smartphone touch virtual keyboards, speech to text techniques, and others. The purpose of this text entry test-bed software is to provide a flexible and reusable experiment tool for text entry studies, in such a way to include studies from a variety of sources, more specifically to this thesis, from Virtual Reality text entry experiments. On top of the proposed text entry test-bed, we conduct two studies comparing different text entry techniques in virtual reality as a way of validating the text entry test-bed, as well as contributing the results of these studies to the pool of research related to text entry in virtual reality.
