Visual and Haptic Perception of Object Elasticity in a Virtual Squeezing Event
نویسندگان
چکیده
Numerous studies have been performed on the human perception of object’s weight, elasticity or viscosity. Most of them were however based on discrimination tasks, and used or simulated very simple objects with linear elasticity. In the experiment presented, we asked participants to make judgements on the elasticity of a deformable virtual object from haptic and visual information. We found that observers could make judgements on elasticity in an orderly way, and that all of the different stiffness values were correctly discriminated except the two lowest ones. It was found too that visual information, when available, modified the movements parameters, such as movement amplitude and mean manipulation speed, but did not help improving the results of the task.

Pseudo-haptic Feedback on Softness Induced by Grasping Motion
In most of the research on pseudo-haptic feedback, subjects’ hands are on the desk and the visual image is provided from a monitor placed in front of them. The setup easily induces sensory conflicts for pseudo-haptic feedback between visual and haptic perception. However, subjects rarely see simultaneously their hand in motion and in a visual display. We report here our preliminary study on pse...

متن کاملPerceiving Fully Occluded Objects via Physical Simulation
Conventional theories of visual object recognition treat objects effectively as abstract, arbitrary patterns of image features. They do not explicitly represent objects as physical entities in the world, with physical properties such as three-dimensional shape, mass, stiffness, elasticity, surface friction, and so on. However, for many purposes, an object’s physical existence is central to our ...
متن کاملAugmenting 3D Interactions with Haptic Guide in Large Scale Virtual Environments
3D interaction techniques play a vital role in virtual environments’(VEs) enrichment and have profound effects on the user’s performance and sense of presence. In this context haptic feedback may be useful to assist the user in complex tasks particularly in the absence of efficient depth cues. In this paper we propose and evaluate two haptic guides (spherical and conical) for object selection. ...
متن کاملOn the origin of body-related influences on visual perception.
The human body and the potential to move it affect the way we perceive the world. Here we explored a possible origin of such action-specific effects on perception. Participants were asked to enclose a virtual object by movements of their index finger and thumb and judged either the actual finger-thumb distance or the size of the virtual object subsequently. The visual-haptic discrepancy that co...
