What are Head-coupled Interactions?

Head tracking will eventually become the new norm in the world of virtual reality. Right now, very few VR headsets are equipped to perform this analysis. Once that situation changes, features such as head-coupled interactions will eventually become more common. Having a way to perform actions activated through head motion will give VR users a very different experience, that much is evident.

Head-Coupled Interactions In Virtual Reality

The way users interact with their virtual environment right now occurs through hand gestures most of the time. That is, assuming your VR gear can properly track hand movements in the first place. Another option is to rely on proprietary VR controllers, although they are usually rather expensive compared to the “usefulness” they provide in return.

Future generations of virtual reality hardware will undoubtedly be equipped with head tracking capabilities. It is unclear when we can expect this sophisticated level of technology, though. Even if it would exist in a perfect manner, it will not necessarily come to the consumer market right away. There are many different use cases for head tracking technology, and consumer-grade VR hardware is not a top priority in this regard.

However, a lot of VR enthusiasts are looking forward to head-coupled interactions. More specifically, having the ability to perform robotic actions activated by head motions. This requires properly functioning head tracking hardware and software as being part of your virtual reality setup, though. For example, imagine talking to an NPC inside an app or game by just nodding your head to them. It would create a very different experience, to say the least.

It is unclear if any manufacturers are working on head-coupled interactivity right now. Considering there is no real head tracking solution without flaws, it may take a few more years before we can even experiment with such a  technology. The possibilities created by this concept are virtually limitless, though. There is no telling what one could do with head-coupled interactions. It is one of the more intriguing future VR developments to look forward to.
