Abstract
For some users human-computer interaction is identified with mouse and keyboard usage. However interaction within three dimensional environments can be also performed by means of external input and output controllers. In spite of professional devices dedicated for navigation and interaction in virtual environments there is a relatively wide range of cheap and available controllers inherently used in computer or video games. Besides that their functionality and precision is constrained, due to adequate software methods they can be used for advanced exploration tasks. This paper aims to present selected interaction methods and their implementations.
