Multi-Modal Haptic Device For Large-=Scale Virtual Environment

摘要

The paper aims to present a new human-scale haptic device for virtual environemnt named Scaleable-SPIDAR (Space Interface Device for Artificial Reality), which provide to both hands different aspects fo force feedback sensations, associated mainly wit weight, cosntact and inertia within a cave-lie space. Tensioned string techniques are used to generate suc haptic sensations, while keeping the space transparent and unbulky. The device s scakleable so as to eneclose differe t dave-lie working space. Scaleable-SPIDAR is coupled with a large screen where a computer generated virtual world is displayed. The used approach is shown to be simple, safe and multi-model interface for haman-scale virtual environment (VE).
