Exploiting Perceptual Illusions to Enhance Passive Haptics
نویسنده
چکیده
Passive haptic feedback is very compelling, but a different physical object is needed for each virtual object requiring haptic feedback. I propose to enhance passive haptics by exploiting visual dominance, enabling a single physical object to provide haptic feedback for many differently shaped virtual objects. Potential applications include virtual prototyping, redirected walking, entertainment, art, and training.

Geometrical haptic illusions: the role of exploration in the Müller-Lyer, vertical-horizontal, and Delboeuf illusions.
This article surveys studies of the occurrence, in the haptic modality, of three geometrical illusions well known in vision, and it discusses the nature of the processes underlying these haptic illusions. We argue that the apparently contradictory results found in the literature concerning them may be explained, at least partially, by the characteristics of manual exploratory movements. The Mül...
متن کاملAn Interview with Susan Lederman
EDITOR’S Note: Over the past three years, Susan Lederman has worked tremendously hard on behalf of ToH, but with her retirement as Associate Editor-in-Chief, I could not resist asking for one last favor. My request was that she share some reflections on her storied career in haptics, and some advice for the next generation of researchers. Susan agreed, leading to the interview below. I hope you...
متن کاملAudio-Haptic Simulation of Walking on Virtual Ground Surfaces to Enhance Realism
In this paper we describe two experiments whose goal is to investigate the role of physics-based auditory and haptic feedback provided at feet level to enhance realism in a virtual environment. To achieve this goal, we designed a multimodal virtual environment where subjects could walk on a platform overlooking a canyon. Subjects were asked to visit the environment wearing an head-mounted displ...
متن کاملPassive Haptics Significantly Enhances Virtual Environments
BRENT EDWARD INSKO: Passive Haptics Significantly Enhances Virtual Environments (Under the direction of Frederick P. Brooks, Jr.) One of the most disconcertingly unnatural properties of most virtual environments (VEs) is the ability of the user to pass through objects. I hypothesize that passive haptics, augmenting a high-fidelity visual virtual environment with low-fidelity physical objects, w...
متن کاملActive movement restores veridical event-timing after tactile adaptation.
Growing evidence suggests that time in the subsecond range is tightly linked to sensory processing. Event-time can be distorted by sensory adaptation, and many temporal illusions can accompany action execution. In this study, we show that adaptation to tactile motion causes a strong contraction of the apparent duration of tactile stimuli. However, when subjects make a voluntary motor act before...
