HapRing: A Wearable Haptic Device for 3D Interaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Haptic devices have the capability to offer good solutions in terms of usability and accuracy related to touch feedback on immersive virtual environments (IVEs). However, there are very few affordable devices to perform natural interaction in a 3D space and some do not represent a suited solution for the common ergonomic and stimuli-meaningfulness issues. In this article, we present a wireless haptic ring (HapRing) for spatial interaction, providing vibro-tactile signals as well as vibration cues on a fingerbasis using a haptic actuator. Other features include inertial measurement, digital input and support for IR camera-based tracking.

متن کاملHapTip: Displaying Haptic Shear Forces at the Fingertips for Multi-Finger Interaction in Virtual Environments
The fingertips are one of the most important and sensitive parts of our body. They are the first stimulated areas of the hand when we interact with our environment. Providing haptic feedback to the fingertips in virtual reality could, thus, drastically improve perception and interaction with virtual environments. In this paper, we present a modular approach called HapTip to display such haptic ...
