HAPTIC SYSTEM FOR ESTABLISHING A CONTACT FREE INTERACTION BETWEEN AT LEAST ONE PART OF A USER'S BODY AND A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT

摘要

The invention relates to a haptic system for establishing a contact free interaction between at least one part of a user's body, referred to as stimulation region (102), and a virtual environment (105), and comprising means for estimating the position of the stimulation region (102); means for emitting, towards the stimulation region (103), at least one flow rate-controlled air stream, said air stream being emitted at a point of emission (110) and the flow rate thereof being determined on the basis of the estimated position in space of the stimulation region and properties of the virtual environment (105); and to a robotic structure (101) which is controlled such that the point of emission (110) of the air stream is moved in such a way that it remains at a constant distance from the stimulation region (102).
