From the bulky cathode-ray tube monitor and heavy mechanical keyboard to the portable smartphone and its touch screen, the interaction is becoming more intuitive and immersive. Virtual reality, after the touch screen, a new way of interacting with the digital world, has pushed the immersive experience to a new level. After several years of development of VR technology, VR products are now much more affordable and user-friendly than before. However, compared to PC or smartphones, which nearly everybody has, VR products are still for the minority. My initial research focuses on the reason why the VR market is growing slowly and trying to push VR devices to become a more demanding product. The main reason can be classified into two parts: VR hardware and software. This paper focuses on the VR hardware, which is the VR controller. By improving the VR controller design, brings VR a much more immersive experience. Thesis eng https://hdl.handle.net/2142/116277 Copyright 2022 Zhaofu Zhang M.F.A.
