SHAKE IT: A PORTABLE HAPTIC MOUSE AND SHAKING APPLICATION

摘要

This paper proposes a haptic mouse system and a vibrotactile rendering method for providing haptic sensation when a user shakes a box containing a tiny object. For the vibrotactile rendering, we suggest a haptic model which realistically simulates the haptic behavior of the object in real-time. The proposed haptic model consists of virtual dampers and virtual cylinders in order to haptically simulate the haptic behavior of the object having a tiny object. In the proposed system, vibrotactile and thermal sensation are created by eccentric motors and a peltier actuator, respectively. The test for the proposed haptic mouse and the proposed rendering method is accomplished by implementing a "shaking box application".
