Abstract
We present a new approach to the integration of input
devices into virtual environment software systems. Our approach employs a
so-called Mapper module as an intermediate between input device drivers and
virtual environment application. Major advantages of our approach are full
device-independence, including the easy integration of new input devices
and emulation of missing device capabilities, interactive reconfiguration,
sharing of input devices among multiple applications, automatic selection
of devices and interaction appropriate for the task, and high-level support
for a large variety of navigation styles in virtual environments.
