Design of a Vibrotactile Feedback Virtual Testbed
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents the software infrastructure design for a virtual environment testbed that provides vibrotactile feedback. The process involved identifying system requirements and constraints from an experimental design, the selection of system components, and the development of software modules. The infrastructure interfaces with hardware input and output devices, produces sound and three-dimensional graphics, models interactions between the user and virtual objects, and records user performance during experimental sessions.

Evaluation of Vibrotactile Feedback to the Human Arm
This paper investigates the main factors influencing the design of a vibrotactile feedback device for the human arm. Beside the determination of hardware settings, e.g. vibration motor type (pancake or cylindrical) and intensity threshold, this paper concentrates on the determination of spatial acuity and the division of the arm’s perimeter into sectors which can be distinguished reliably. The ...
متن کاملGesture Controlled Virtual Instrument with Dynamic Vibrotactile Feedback
This paper investigates whether a dynamic vibrotactile feedback improves the playability of a gesture controlled virtual instrument. The instrument described in this study is based on a virtual control surface that player strikes with a hand held sensor-actuator device. We designed two tactile cues to augment the stroke across the control surface: a static and dynamic cue. The static cue was a ...
متن کاملWearable Vibrotactile Haptic Device for Stiffness Discrimination during Virtual Interactions
In this paper, we discuss the development of cost effective, wireless, and wearable vibrotactile haptic device for stiffness perception during an interaction with virtual objects. Our experimental setup consists of haptic device with five vibrotactile actuators, virtual reality environment tailored in Unity 3D integrating the Oculus Rift Head Mounted Display (HMD) and the Leap Motion controller...
متن کاملEnhancing Immersiveness in AR-Based Product Design
Recently, various AR-based product design methodologies have been introduced. In this paper, we propose technologies for enhancing the immersive realization of virtual objects, where, by adapting tangible objects we can provide touch sensation to users. A 3D model of the same scale overlays the whole area of the tangible object so the marker area is invisible. This contributes to enhancing imme...
متن کاملVirtual Training via Vibrotactile Arrays
What is often missing from many virtual worlds and training simulations is a physical sense of the confinement and constraint of the virtual environment. We present a method for providing localized cutaneous vibratory feedback to the user’s right arm. We created a sleeve of tactors linked to a real-time human model; the tactors activate to apply sensation to the corresponding body area. The hyp...
