That was the point of my original question - it's not useful to research this if no one really wants to input text/numbers into a VE/AR application. I'm convinced that it is a worthwhile task, but it's not obvious, esp. for VEs. For mobile computing it makes a lot more sense, and some of the techniques should work for that as well. -- Doug A.
