Virtual Environment and Sensori-Motor Activities: Haptic, Audition and Olfaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
While the simplest Virtual Environment (VE) configuration considers only visual interfaces, the need for increased immersion drives the VE designers towards the integration of additional communication modalities. Sensori-motor systems are the components of a Virtual Reality (VR) system that contribute to generate the VEs and to create the feeling of immersion and presence, the feeling of being there. This paper quickly reviews the (1) olfactory, (2) auditory, (3) haptic sensori-motor activities and focuses on the hardware/software components that are currently available, either as commercial products or as academic prototypes.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of olfaction, audition and tactile senses in mobility and orientation of blinds. Methods: The statistical sample of this research included 100 blind persons aged between 16 and 75 years (61 males and 39 females) with different level of education (16 persons lower than the diploma, 26 persons diploma, 46 persons bachelor, 12 person ...
متن کاملVirtual and Mixed Reality in Telerobotics: A Survey
Virtual Reality (VR) constitutes now a well-established term, which is employed basically to describe systems that enable an intuitive and natural interaction in real-time between a human and a computer animated 3D graphical environment. The media that are employed to support such a human-computer interaction should ideally involve all human senses (and more generally sensori-motor abilities), ...
متن کاملMultimodal Display Systems: Haptic, Olfactory, Gustatory, and Vestibular
The Sensorama is the prototypical embodiment of a virtual environment (VE), conceived and implemented years before “VR” (or “virtual reality”) became a common term. Whereas VR has been often characterized as “goggles and gloves,” Heilig (1962) developed a truly multimodal display system that provided for stereoscopic vision, binaural audition, haptics (wind in the face; vibration or “jolts”), a...

content and the comprehension of learned concepts. Based on this body of research, Segal, Black, and Tversky (2010) showed that gestural interfaces that incorporate the haptic aspect of touching the interface and manipulating the objects by using sensori-motor input could benefit users‟ comprehension of learned concepts. They hypothesized that by touching the objects on a screen directly with a...
متن کاملVirtual Environment and Sensori-Motor Activities: Visualization
The levels of immersion and presence felt by users in a Virtual Environment (VE) are very important factors that dictate the quality of the Virtual Reality (VR) experience. Sensori-motor systems, both hardware and software, are the components of a VR system that contribute to generate the VEs and to create the feeling of being there. This paper reviews the different visualization hardware/softw...
