proprioceptors and mechanoreceptors

Motion and touch as a method of interaction from computers to humans is not well developed. Nonetheless, this is still important. The human brain receives large-scale information about the positions of parts of the body from proprioceptors that monitor muscle motions. The brain also receives micro-scale information concerning touch and texture from mechanoreceptors in the skin. Combined information from proprioceptors and mechanoreceptors tells you about tangible attributes of elements of the setting. Linked page Aerosense Conference 3362 also is of interest.

One way of information transmission from humans to computers is "computer vision" wherein advanced analysis of camera pictures of human movement via computer allows the computer system to distinguish vital patterns and gestures of body movement. However, this method has constraints. The relevant portions of the human body must all be visible by the camera. They must not be hidden by things in the setting or by other portions of the body. Some gestures are self-occluding by nature. This method is also limited by lighting conditions. Link to Virtual Tours Cerritos, California provides further information about VR.
