Abstract:

Virtual reality (VR) environments require efficient and intuitive text input methods; however, traditional controller-based keyboards often interrupt immersion and natural interaction. This project presents the design and implementation of a hand-mounted virtual keyboard that enables text input directly on the user’s palm using real-time hand tracking.
