“…Since mid-air interaction in VR allows users to interact with the VE without any physical support, many researchers have investigated the addition of haptic feedback. The effects of haptic feedback on user performance have been documented in previous studies, e.g., [46,[56][57][58]65]. Other research has shown that haptic feedback improves user performance for 3D pointing in VR over no feedback [35,42].…”

A relatively recent application area for Virtual Reality (VR) systems is sports training and user performance assessment. One of these applications is eye-hand coordination training systems (EHCTSs). Previous research identified that VR-based training systems have great potential for EHCTSs. While previous work investigated 3D targets on a 2D plane, here we aim to study full 3D movements and extend the application of throughput analysis to EHCTSs. We conducted two user studies to investigate how user performance is affected by different target arrangements, feedback conditions, and handedness in VR-based EHCTSs. In the first study, we explored handedness as well as vertical and horizontal target arrangements, and showed that user performance increases with the dominant hand and a vertical target plane. In the second study, we investigated different combinations of visual and haptic feedback and how they affect user performance with different target and cursor sizes. Results illustrate that haptic feedback did not increase user performance when it is added to visual feedback. Our results inform the creation of better EHCTSs with mid-air VR systems.

“…In contrast, several low-cost haptic devices have been proposed in HCI. Typically, wearable or hand-held devices [4,1,44,8,11,68,21,61,31,57,42,22,6,20] are naturally compatible with large environments. They can simulate various haptic features (weight, stiffness, shape, texture) on different body parts.…”

Figure 1. CoVR is a physical column mounted on a 2D Cartesian ceiling robot to provide strong kinesthetic feedback (> 100N) in a room-scale VR arena. The column panels are interchangeable and its movements can safely reach any location in the VR arena thanks to XY displacements and trajectory generations avoiding collisions with the user. When CoVR is static, it can resist to body-scaled users' actions, such as (A) users pushing on a static tangible rigid wall with a high force or (B) leaning on it; When CoVR is dynamic, it can act on users. (C) CoVR can pull the users to provide large force-feedback or even (D) transport the users.

“…Another class of haptic controllers produces tactile and kinesthetic effects on the user's finger while holding and moving the controllers. For example, Haptic Revolver [54] spins a wheel under the finger to render shear forces with varying materials. NormalTouch, TextureTouch [4] and CLAW [10] are controllers that create the sensation of touching virtual shapes using a tilt and extrusion platform.…”

We present PIVOT, a wrist-worn haptic device that renders virtual objects into the user's hand on demand. Its simple design comprises a single actuated joint that pivots a haptic handle into and out of the user's hand, rendering the haptic sensations of grasping, catching, or throwing an objectanywhere in space. Unlike existing hand-held haptic devices and haptic gloves, PIVOT leaves the user's palm free when not in use, allowing users to make unencumbered use of their hand. PIVOT also enables rendering forces acting on the held virtual objects, such as gravity, inertia, or air-drag, by actively driving its motor while the user is firmly holding the handle. When wearing a PIVOT device on both hands, they can add haptic feedback to bimanual interaction, such as lifting larger objects. In our user study, participants (n=12) evaluated the realism of grabbing and releasing objects of different shape and size with mean score 5.19 on a scale from 1 to 7, rated the ability to catch and throw balls in different directions with different velocities (mean=5.5), and verified the ability to render the comparative weight of held objects with 87% accuracy for ~100g increments.
