QuickWrite is an input method created by Ken Perlin so that \\\”you shouldn\\\’t ever need to pick up the pen (ie: no clicking, only gliding).\\\”
I really like this input method and think it might be useful for symbolic input in VWs.
So today I played in Virtools with the idea of using Natural Point\\\’s TrackIR as an input device. Of course any 3DOF (it needs only 2DOF) tracker would fit (the Wii-mote for example).
Here\\\’s a video (slightly higher quality (6.4mb) ) of my experiment. I\\\’m quite a beginner at this input method but it\\\’s really easy to learn and write fast.
The 3rd dimension could be used to switch the output characters (uppercase, numerical, punctuation etc).
