Redirected Drawing: Expanding the Perceived Canvas Size in VR

This conference talk from IEEE explores "Redirected Drawing," a novel methodology that applies visual manipulation to expand the perceived canvas size in virtual reality drawing experiences. Presented by researchers from Tohoku University and Shibaura Institute of Technology, the 10-minute session demonstrates how translation gain manipulation can multiply the displacement of drawing strokes in reality to create expanded representations in VR. Learn about the research findings which reveal that pen-based drawing on physical surfaces allows for a gain of up to 1.16 without user detection—making it more effective than finger-based drawing on surfaces or in mid-air. Discover how this technique enables interaction with virtual canvases of unlimited size while maintaining the tactile feedback of physical drawing surfaces.
