在本文中，我们提出了VR运动跟踪器：一个小部件，通知用户的非参与者的运动的VR应用程序。小部件的设计灵感来自于外星人电影系列中使用的运动跟踪器。它使用Kinect来检测房间里的其他人，除了VR应用程序的用户。我们的系统将此信息映射到位于代表Kinect视野的三角形平面内的球体。当这些非参与者移动时，球体的位置会更新，允许用户意识到附近的移动。我们进行了一项初步研究，向九名参与者展示了我们的小部件设计。我们发现他们认为这个小部件是有用的，不会分散注意力。我们将讨论他们感兴趣的功能，以及他们认为对该小部件的未来版本有用的其他信息和功能。
In this paper we present the VR Motion Tracker: a widget that informs users of VR applications of the movements of nonparticipants. The design of the widget is inspired by the the motion tracker used in the Alien film franchise. It uses a Kinect to detect other people in the room, besides the user of the VR application. Our system maps this information to a sphere placed within a triangular plane representing the Kinect’s field of view. When these non-participants move, the position of the sphere is updated, allowing the user to be aware of nearby movements. We performed a preliminary study where we presented nine participants with our widget design. We found that they considered the widget to be useful and not distracting. We discuss which features they found interesting, and other information and features they considered useful for a future version of this widget.
