“…For example, when Calvo et al evaluate their aforementioned exoskeleton device in a bow and arrow VR simulator [7], they appended two haptic specific questions to the IPQ, so they could evaluate the sensation of pulling on the bowstring. Moreover, there seems to be an abundance of recent research in VR haptics that does not use the IPQ at all and, instead, authors craft their own questions directly targeted at their devices (e.g., [11,17,21]). These examples propelled us to explore a complementary or perhaps even alternative method to detect conflicts in the user's sense of haptic immersion.…”

Designing immersion is the key challenge in virtual reality; this challenge has driven advancements in displays, rendering and recently, haptics. To increase our sense of physical immersion, for instance, vibrotactile gloves render the sense of touching, while electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) renders forces. Unfortunately, the established metric to assess the effectiveness of haptic devices relies on the user's subjective interpretation of unspecific, yet standardized, questions. Here, we explore a new approach to detect a conflict in visuohaptic integration (e.g., inadequate haptic feedback based on poorly configured collision detection) using electroencephalography (EEG). We propose analyzing event-related potentials (ERPs) during interaction with virtual objects. In our study, participants touched virtual objects in three conditions and received either no haptic feedback, vibration, or vibration and EMS feedback. To provoke a brain response in unrealistic VR interaction, we also presented the feedback prematurely in 25% of the trials. We found that the early negativity component of the ERP (so called prediction error) was more pronounced in the mismatch trials, indicating we successfully detected haptic conflicts using our technique. The results can be understood as a first step towards ERPs as a potential metric of haptic immersion in VR. CCS CONCEPTS • Human-centered computing → Haptic devices; Virtual reality;

Opera is a historic art that struggles to be approachable to modern audiences. In partnership with the Irish National Opera (INO), this work considers how VR may be used to develop a new form of immersive opera. To this end, we ran three open-ended focus groups to consider how creative, multisensory, and social VR technology may be employed in digital opera. Our findings assert the importance of creating an immersive experience by safely giving audiences agency to interact, to democratize personal and social experiences, and to consider different ways of representing their bodies, their social rituals, and the virtual social space. Using these findings, we envision a new form of VR opera that couples physical traditions with digital affordances.

“…Leigh and Maes [13] [14] developed body-integrated robotic joint interfaces that augment the human hand with extra fingers that can also act as a an on-demand joystick or trigger button. Other researchers have explored inflatable devices that render virtual graspable objects by inflating air-pockets in the middle of the palm [11] [20]. In particular PuPop [20] offers rendering various shapes and sizes by a multitude of integrated air-pockets, however its pneumatic actuation mechanism is only suitable for slow interaction scenarios.…”

“…The fixed size of the handle limits the range of objects to be approximated effectively. Therefore, when the shape of objects is too dissonant, interchangeable handles could be combined with shape changing technology, such as adding different shapes and textures covers to the controller or inflatable pockets on the handle, similar to [11] and [20].…”

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.
