    Abstract

    We measured the precision and ease of use of three separate interface devices designed to be operated in 3D space, specifically with 3D environments and tasks. A gyroscopic, handheld mouse, a finger mounted gyroscopic mouse and a wired glove accompanied with a Microsoft Kinect were used to see which attributes of the devices were most important in their use. Results found interfaces with the closest analogue to typical computer usage performed the best, with participants commenting mainly on the importance of precision and accuracy over the 'naturalness' or appropriateness of the style of interface. We conclude that usability factors and maximizing user effectiveness in an environment far outweigh UX concerns of immersion or closeness to interface paradigm.
