Visuo-Tactile Interaction with Virtual Objects that Yields Kinetic Effects on Real Objects

摘要

In this presentation, we describe an HMD-based immersive VR environment which allow us to touch virtual objects and to apply actual kinetic effects on corresponding objects in real world. We utilize foci of airborne ultrasound for generating tactile feedback to users' hands and applying kinetic force to the real objects. Our system offers a new tele-operation system, where bare-handed users can manipulate real objects located away from them with tactile feedback.
