“…Since VE and haptics are complementary to each other in many applications, it is necessary to conduct investigations on the relationship of these two technologies. More research should be undertaken to understand when the desired effect can be obtained by pseudo-haptics (i.e., "illusional haptic perceptions evoked by human vision" [167]) and when an actual haptic feedback is required for better realism. In addition, researchers should find ways for better synchronization of haptic and audio/video effects.…”

Haptic Devices: Wearability-Based Taxonomy and Literature Review

2022

In the last decade, several new haptic devices have been developed, contributing to the definition of more realistic virtual environments. An overview on this topic requires a description of the various technologies employed in building such devices, and of their application domains. This survey describes the current technology underlying haptic devices, based on the concept of "wearability level". More than 90 devices, newly developed and described in scientific papers published in the period 2010-2021, are reviewed, which provide either haptic illusions or novel haptic feedback for teleoperation, entertainment, training, education, guidance and notification. As a result, the analyzed systems are divided into grounded, hand-held and wearable devices; the latter are further split into exoskeletons and gloves, finger-worn devices, and arm-worn devices. For the systems in each of these categories, descriptions and tables are provided that analyze their structure, including device mass and employed actuators, their applications, and other characteristics such as type of haptic feedback and tactile illusions. The paper also provides an overview of devices worn in parts of the human body other than arms and hands, and precisely haptic vests, jackets and belts, and haptic devices for head, legs and feet. Based on this analysis, the survey also provides a discussion on research gaps and challenges, and potential future directions.INDEX TERMS haptic devices, virtual reality interfaces, kinesthetic feedback, tactile feedback, haptic illusions.

“…More recently, Li et al [ 8 ] developed a surgical training system that employed pseudo-haptics to identify tumors upon palpation, in which the firmness of the tumor was presented using pseudo-haptics. Although a complete review of pseudo-haptics is beyond the scope of this article, Ujitoko and Ban [ 9 ] provide a recent and thorough review of the design and application of pseudo-haptics, focusing on three categories of use (training, assistance, and entertainment). They observed that the number of pseudo-haptics applications for training are far less than those applied to entertainment and assistance (e.g., navigation on touch-screen interfaces, and its use to influence the memorization of important knowledge), or entertainment [ 9 ].…”

This begs the question, can pseudo-haptics provide a viable alternative to complex expensive haptic devices required to facilitate psychomotor skill development in the virtual domain?…”

In a centralized model of simulation-based education (Ce-SBE), the trainees practice clinical skills in simulated laboratories based on physical models, while in a decentralized model (De-SBE), the trainees practice these skills outside of these laboratories. Attention to De-SBE has drastically shifted to virtual learning environments (VLEs), serious games, and virtual simulations employing various digital technologies, including virtual, augmented, and mixed reality. In particular, remote learning has grown immensely during the COVID-19 pandemic as traditional in-person teaching and training activities are conducted online as a form of facilitating continuity in education. VLEs allow trainees to learn from virtual simulated health experiences in an interactive, engaging, and ethically safe manner, while providing educators the opportunity to implement simulated experiences to a larger number of learners. Despite these benefits, for certain types of clinical skills, such as psychomotor skills, VLEs have not yet reached their potential. This is primarily due to technical limitations and cost issues with the haptic devices required to simulate the sense of touch. Pseudo-haptic refers to the illusion of haptic stimulation in the absence of mechanical haptic interfaces and often combines the use of a passive input device (e.g., mouse) with visual and auditory feedback to simulate haptic properties (stiffness or friction of an object). Although the application of pseudo-haptics for psychomotor skills development is still in its infancy and currently trending due to the availability of consumer-level technologies, the potential to present haptic cues in the absence of active haptic devices may allow trainees to practice some tasks outside of research and training labs. The implications of pseudo-haptics are tremendous, particularly as remote learning becomes more widespread, and warrant further discussion.

“…In this paper, inspired by 2D slider interaction, we propose the Rubber Slider metaphor, a novel, enhanced, pseudo-haptic control interface. The Rubber Slider metaphor gives better control to users over the displayed time range thanks to the additional degree of freedom and the pseudo-haptic feedback [4].…”

In the context of the IEEE VR 2022 3DUI Contest entitled "Arts, Science, Information, and Knowledge -Visualized and Interacted", this paper presents a VR application to highlight the usage of the rubber slider metaphor. The rubber slider is an augmentation of usual 2D slider controls where users can bend the slider axis in order to control an additional degree of freedom value in the application. This demonstration immerses users in a Virtual Environment where they will be able to explore a database of art pieces geolocated on a 3D earth model and their corresponding art movements displayed on a timeline interface.
