Compact Device for Markerless Hand Tracking and Noncontact Tactile Feedback
نویسنده
چکیده
A compact device is introduced which enables users not only to operate computers by moving their hands in mid-air but also to feel haptic feedback on their hands. The device consists of a depth camera for hand tracking and a noncontact tactile display for haptic feedback. The tactile display utilizes focused ultrasound to produce tactile stimulation from a distance. The principles are described and the developed device is described.

Depth Camera-Based 3D Hand Gesture Controls with Immersive Tactile Feedback for Natural Mid-Air Gesture Interactions
Vision-based hand gesture interactions are natural and intuitive when interacting with computers, since we naturally exploit gestures to communicate with other people. However, it is agreed that users suffer from discomfort and fatigue when using gesture-controlled interfaces, due to the lack of physical feedback. To solve the problem, we propose a novel complete solution of a hand gesture cont...

Virtual Reality (VR) has been proven to be capable of enabling its users to experience immersive virtual environments and interact with the computer. Most VR applications utilize stereo visual perception, however, stereo visual perception alone is not enough to fully immerse users in VR environments. Haptic feedback technology when applied to VR applications can offer improved immersion and int...

We introduce a freehand interaction device that provides directed tactile feedback to the user’s hand. The basic idea is to enhance the user’s six degree of freedom interaction within virtual or augmented environments by offering an additional three dimensional tactile feedback as an immediate response from the virtual world. We describe the prototype system TACTool, which utilizes vibro motors...
