A survey on haptic technologies for mobile augmented reality

Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) and Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) applications have gained much research and industry attention these days. The mobile nature of MAR applications limits users' interaction capabilities such as inputs, and haptic feedbacks. This survey reviews current research issues in the area of human computer interaction for MAR and haptic devices. The survey first presents human sensing capabilities and their applicability in AR applications. We classify haptic devices into two groups according to the triggered sense: cutaneous/tactile: touch, active surfaces, and mid-air; kinesthetic: manipulandum, grasp, and exoskeleton. Due to the mobile capabilities of MAR applications, we mainly focus our study on wearable haptic devices for each category and their AR possibilities. To conclude, we discuss the future paths that haptic feedbacks should follow for MAR applications and their challenges.

Affordances de interacción, emergencia y socialidad en videojuegos con realidad aumentada móvil

“…Esta consideración, trasladada al concepto de espacio aumentado de Manovich (2006), conecta con la idea de que los objetos virtuales superpuestos o integrados en el espacio real son de formato multimodal. Así mismo, gran parte de los inputs del usuario hacia el artefacto o aplicación con componentes de realidad aumentada se lleva a cabo de manera táctil (Bermejo, 2021).…”

“…Hasta el momento, las principales affordances de la realidad aumentada identificadas en la revisión teórica están centradas en las posibilidades de visualización y las interacciones de los usuarios con los gráficos o el dispositivo (Gjøsaeter, 2014;Bacca et al, 2014;Bermejo, 2021) y con otros usuarios en la creación de actividades colaborativas dentro de la propia aplicación de realidad aumentada (MacCallum y Jamieson, 2017). El enfoque adoptado, tendente a ampliar los conceptos de la HCI (Norman, 1990) desde una óptica más humanística (Murray, 2012) y sociológica (Foucault, 2002;Beck, 2004;Scolari, 2021), permite la visibilización de affordances que expanden la interacción social más allá de una conversación entre usuarios dentro del juego.…”

Mixed Reality Interaction Techniques

“…Various devices have been proposed for both sensory channels, varying in form factor, weight, mobility, comfort as well as the fidelity, duration and intensity of haptic feedback. For recent surveys, please see [26,245]. Fig.…”

HAPOVER: A Haptic Pronunciation Improver Device

“…They can be classified in many ways according to their structural, mobility, and intended uses [19][20][21]. According to the type of sense they simulate, it is possible to divide them into two main groups as kinesthetic interfaces (related to force, velocity and location) and tactile displays (related to skin) [22][23][24][25]. Haptic devices are becoming more widespread in our life day by day, and these technologies are becoming more comfortable in human life.…”
