Development of a wearable haptic game interface

A wearable haptic game controller

This paper outlines the development of a wearable game controller incorporating vibrotacticle haptic feedback that provides a low cost, versatile and intuitive interface for controlling digital games. The device differs from many traditional haptic feedback implementation in that it combines vibrotactile based haptic feedback with gesture based input, thus becoming a two way conduit between the...

billiARds: Augmented Reality System with wearable Force-Feedback device

In this paper, we propose billiARds which is an Augmented Reality (AR) system that, in addition to visual and aural augmentation, provides force-feedback. We develop a vision-based tangible AR interface to support intuitive interaction with billiARds system. In order to enhance user’s experience, we go a step further by adding forcefeedback to the tangible interface. Our primary contribution is...

The Sightlence Game: Designing a Haptic Computer Game Interface

The haptic modality is currently underutilized and poorly understood as a design material in game design. There are few computer games to draw on for inspiration during design explorations. This design case study explores how to use the haptic modality as a design material for computer game interfaces that requires neither graphics nor audio. The idea behind the case study is that a better unde...

Encapsulation of Piezoelectric Transducers for Sensory Augmentation and Substitution with Wearable Haptic Devices

The integration of polymeric actuators in haptic displays is widespread nowadays, especially in virtual reality and rehabilitation applications. However, we are still far from optimizing the transducer ability in conveying sensory information. Here, we present a vibrotactile actuator characterized by a piezoelectric disk embedded in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) shell. An original encapsulation...
