In this work, we propose RotateEntry, a controller-rolling-style method for text entry on three degrees of freedom virtual reality devices. To move the key-selecting cursor in two dimensions on a QWERTY layout virtual keyboard, we developed three variants of RotateEntry: Rotate Column Rotate, Rotate Key, and Rotate Column Point.
