We performed a user experiment to evaluate the three techniques based on their performance (time to complete the task), comfort (through the ISO 9241-9 assessment of comfort questionnaire), and simulation sickness (through the Simulation Sickness Questionnaire). Results indicate that the gamepad technique is both faster and more comfortable than either the Leap Motion-based or the gaze-directed techniques.engInteraction DeviceLeap MotionHCIVirtual RealityLocomotionPerformance Measurementconference object2016-12-2310.1145/2993369.299632784999041230000391514400053
