Abstract: One of the fascinating features of VirtualReality is the ability for users to interact with objects just like in the real world. However, such interactions are limited to the reachable space. We propose a system called “Poros” that allows users to rearrange space. After marking a part of the space, the marked area in a distant location is projected onto a nearby proxy. This enables users to freely arrange space within reach and easily interact with multiple distant spaces or nearby objects. The proxy itself becomes part of the scene, allowing for movement, rotation, scaling, and attachment to other objects. Furthermore, it can be used for more advanced interactions like alignment and action duplication. We demonstrate how Poros enables various tasks and applications and validate its effectiveness through expert evaluation.

  • locomotion + interaction
    • could be costly
  • Extending the virtual body
    • Reaching out with hands
  • Shrinking space
