Hi there,
this is not such a technical more a general question.
I want to use data gloves to provide direct manipulations with objects and such
things. My first idea was to use coordinates of tracking system directly (3
sensors: one on top of HMD, one at each hand).
I'm using two channels for stereo display. Eye separation distance I set to 6.5
cm. (Measured at my face in front of a mirror. ;-) ) Unfortunately the virtual
hands appear so close that I see them twice (due to stereo presentation and my
short arms.)
I compared my application with a commercial software (SmartScene). There is a
similar effect but I believe it is not so strong like in my app.
Did I make a stupid assumption? Is there somebody made similar experiences? Did
somebody solve this problem and could give me a hint? Is something wrong with
my eyes???
All help is appreciated.
Best regards,
Dirk.
