Introduction
With the release of affordable head-mounted displays (HMDs),
people will find new applications made possible by this
technology. Although current trends suggest that HMDs
will initially be used for entertainment applications, we believe
that people will also wish to complete everyday tasks
such as writing emails, documents, and short messages.
Since QWERTY mechanical keyboards are also prevalent,
this research aims to research ways to overcome problems
introduced by using keyboards with an HMD. For example,
HMDs typically prevent a user from seeing the real world
including the location of the keyboard and their hands.
Therefore, a key challenge of this work is to find ways to
support efficient text entry under these circumstances. We
addressed this challenge by adapting a state-of-the-art
touchscreen decoder to correct errors in user input.
