Abstract

This paper presents an effective text input tool for virtual environments. The key idea of this paper is that we make use of the text input mechanism of mobile phones. We present a 3 × 3 keypad widget whose user interface is similar to the keypad of mobile phones, where each key on the widget has several characters. We present indexing schemes by which users locate the key on the keypad they want and selection schemes by which users choose the desired character from the characters on the keys of the keypad using diverse input devices.
