“…Haptic rendering, associated with virtual/augmented reality, is an emerging term within the field of gaming (Tokuyama et al, 2019), robot control (Liu et al, 2019), training/rehabilitation (Bortone et al, 2018), and human-machine interaction (Sanfilippo et al, 2015;Sanfilippo and Pacchierotti, 2018;Sanfilippo and Pacchierotti, 2020). Haptic rendering is the process of computing and generating forces in response to user interactions with virtual objects (Salisbury et al, 1995).…”

Virtual reality (VR) technology is a promising tool in physical rehabilitation. Research indicates that VR-supported rehabilitation is beneficial for task-specific training, multi-sensory feedback, diversified rehabilitation tasks, and patient motivation. Our first goal was to create a biomechatronics laboratory with a VR setup for increasing immersion and a motion platform to provide realistic feedback to patients. The second goal was to investigate possibilities to replicate features of the biomechatronics laboratory in a home-based training system using commercially available components. The laboratory comprises of a motion platform with 6-degrees-of-freedom (Rexroth eMotion), fitted with a load cell integrated treadmill, and an Oculus Quest virtual reality headset. The load cells provide input for data collection, as well as VR motion control. The home-based rehabilitation system consists of a Nintendo Wii Balance Board and an Oculus Rift virtual reality headset. User studies in the laboratory and home environment used direct observation techniques and self-reported attitudinal research methods to assess the solution’s usability and user experience. The findings indicate that the proposed VR solution is feasible. Participants using the home-based system experienced more cybersickness and imbalance compared to those using the biomechatronics laboratory solution. Future studies will look at a setup that is safe for first patient studies, and exercises to improve diagnosis of patients and progress during rehabilitation.

“…Other efforts to provide access to haptic devices can be found in the literature. SimHaptics 16 [52] is an opensource library to deliver haptic feedback that is compatible with devices produced by Force Dimension. To be applied in the field of training in medicine, Virtual Surgery SDK was created by Kolsanov et al [30].…”

A mulsemedia framework for delivering sensory effects to heterogeneous systems

Technological advances in computing have allowed multimedia systems to create more immersive experiences for users. Beyond the traditional senses of sight and hearing, researchers have observed that the use of smell, taste, and touch in such systems is becoming increasingly well-received, leading to a new category of multimedia systems called mulsemedia-multiple sensorial media-systems. In parallel, these systems introduce heterogeneous technologies to deliver different sensory effects such as lighting, wind, vibration, and smell, under varied conditions and restrictions. This new paradigm shift poses many challenges, mainly related to mulsemedia integration, delay, responsiveness, sensory effects intensities, wearable and other heterogeneous devices for delivering sensory effects, and remote delivery of mulsemedia components. In addition, new approaches to interacting with multimedia applications have emerged such as multi-touch interfaces, voice processing, and brain-computer interfaces, giving rise to new kinds of complex interactive systems. In this article, we underpin fundamental challenges for delivering multisensory effects to heterogeneous systems. We propose an interoperable mulsemedia framework for coping with these challenges, meeting the emerging requirements. It is achieved through the evolution of an open distributed mulsemedia system. We changed its core following architectural and design patterns to accommodate different profiles of communication, connectivity, and sensory effects metadata standard according to the need of mulsemedia applications and devices available in the user's environment. The results include case studies where the framework has been duly applied.

“…In addition, most of these systems are based on proprietary hardware and software. While various haptic software libraries are available, these tools still require significant programming skills to be integrated [6]. This process can therefore often be a frustrating and time-consuming activity, which can cause researchers to concentrate too much on language and syntax, preventing them from paying adequate attention to the logic of their applications.…”

Haptic technology for human augmentation provides gains in ability for different applications, whether the aim is to enhance "disabilities" to "abilities", or "abilities" to "super-abilities". Commercially-available devices are generally expensive and tailored to specific applications and hardware. To give researchers a haptic feedback system that is economical, customisable, and fast to fabricate, our group developed a low-cost immersive haptic, audio, and visual experience built by using off-the-shelf (COTS) components. It is composed of a vibrotactile glove, a Leap Motion sensor, and an head-mounted display, integrated together to provide compelling immersive sensations. This paper proposes a higher technology readiness level (TRL) for the system to make it modular and reliable. To demonstrate its potential, we present two human subject studies in Virtual Reality. They evaluate the capability of the system in providing (i) guidance during simulated drone operations, and (ii) contact haptic feedback during virtual objects interaction. Results prove that the proposed haptic-enabled framework improves the performance and illusion of presence.
