Abstract:Digital Earth is widely used, and immersive human-computer interaction has become one of the research hotspots. An immersive interaction scheme is designed and implemented to achieve the digital Earth following head movements by wearing a virtual reality head-mounted display. However, during the interactive display process, there are problems such as the digital earth roaming response is not synchronised with the user"s movement, and the display is unstable. A parameter threshold optimisation algorithm integrating dichotomous method and orthogonal experiment method is proposed to address the above problems: the dichotomous method is used to determine the levels of different factors in the orthogonal experiments for the influencing factors such as the data reception time interval, the state discrimination threshold, and the rate of head movement which affects the interaction effect. Afterwards, the optimal parameter thresholds are screened out through the actual testing by the personnel. The optimal parameters are applied to the three-dimensional electronic sand table system. The digital Earth response matches the user"s movement and displays smoothly thereby verifying the effectiveness of the algorithm.
