Figure 1: We present an ownership-preserving direct manipulation technique in augmented reality, which allows interaction with
remote devices in a ubicomp environment with the help of a long virtual arm. While the user’s real hand is close to the body the
virtual arm is of normal length (A) and by simply reaching out the user can make it extend to access remote devices in the room.
For instance we allow adjusting the height of a table (B), opening and closing a curtain (C) and adjusting the angle of a tilting
surface (D).
ABSTRACT
In this paper, we explore how users can control remote de-
vices with a virtual long arm, while preserving the perception
that the artificial arm is actually part of their own body. In-
stead of using pointing, speech, or a remote control, the users’
arm is extended in augmented reality, allowing access to de-
INTRODUCTION
Our rooms and environment are filled with an ever increas-
ing number of interactive devices and embedded computers.
These range from permanently installed devices such as auto-
mated blinds and smart light bulbs, automatic doors and win-
dows, ventilators and air conditioning, to actuated furniture
