“…For instance, HapticGEAR is a backpack-like device capable of providing force-feedback by pulling on the user's hand with strings (Hirose et al, 2001). Tsetserukou, Sato, and Tachi (2010) proposed a minimalist haptic interface taking the form of an actuated cable that links the wrist to the arm to constrain arm extension, mimicking a muscle.…”

International audienceHaptic feedback is known to improve 3D interaction in virtual environments but current haptic interfaces remain complex and tailored to desktop interaction. In this paper, we describe an alternative approach called “Elastic-Arm” for incorporating haptic feedback in immersive virtualenvironments in a simple and cost-effective way. The Elastic-Arm is based on a body-mounted elastic armature that links the users hand to his body and generates a progressive egocentric force when extending the arm. A variety of designs can be proposed with multiple links attached tovarious locations on the body in order to simulate different haptic properties and sensations such as different levels of stiffness, weight lifting, bimanual interaction, etc. Our passive haptic approach can be combined with various 3D interaction techniques and we illustrate the possibilities offered by the Elastic-Arm through several use cases based on well-known techniques such as the Bubble technique, redirected touching, and pseudo-haptics. A user study was conducted which showed the effectiveness of our pseudo-haptic technique as well as the general appreciation of the Elastic-Arm. We believe that the Elastic-Arm could be used in various VR applications which call for mobile haptic feedback or human-scale haptic sensations

“…It provides unconstrained mobility and employs multi-modal effects for reinforcing haptic sensation in AR environment. The force-feedback is enabled by body-worn motors using wire-tension mechanism [4], [5]. Two users, carrying their own system, can easily interact with virtual balls through tangible AR interface in a collaborative environment.…”

Abstract. In this paper, we identify the features that enhance gaming experience in Augmented Reality (AR) environments. These include Tangible User Interface, force-feedback, audio-visual cues, collaboration and mobility. We base our findings on lessons learnt from existing AR games. We apply these results to billiARds which is an AR system that, in addition to visual and aural cues, provides force-feedback. billiARds supports interaction through a vision-based tangible AR interface. Two users can easily operate the proposed system while playing Collaborative billiARds game around a table. The users can collaborate through both virtual and real objects. User study confirmed that the resulting system delivers enhanced gaming experience by supporting the five features highlighted in this paper.

“…Kinesthetic stimulation, such as that for pulling or pushing the hand, has the potential to be more intuitive and expressive than cutaneous stimulation, such as rumbling vibration, in conveying direction information because force feedback devices can indicate a onedimension direction directly. Although a substantial number of force feedback devices have been developed in the last twenty years, most of them use either mechanical linkage to establish a fulcrum relative to the ground (Massie & Salisbury, 1994), use a huge air compressor (Suzuki et al, 2002;Gurocak et al, 2003), or require wearing a heavy device (Hirose et al, 2001). Physical constraints mean that none of them can be used in portable information devices.…”
