A Nose Gesture Interface Device: Extending Virtual Realities
Saved the most important for last “A Nose Gesture Interface Device: Extending Virtual Realities” Tyson R. Henry, Scott E. Hudson, Andrey K. Yeatts, Brad A. Myers, and Steven Feiner, Proceedings of UIST ‘91, November 11 - 13, 1991, Hilton Head, NC, pp. 65-68 • http://www.acm.org/pubs/citations/proceedings/uist/120782/p65-henry/
Some of the most important VR work ever published • Had its own special session at UIST ‘91 • Reprinted in Presence (the main VR journal), April 1992. • Will recreate the presentation here
