A recent trend in virtual environments aims at making the user free of devices or limitations in its motion, at the benefit of immersiveness and interactivity. This work introduces an interaction paradigm that goes beyond motion based interaction, by making use of measured real forces exerted by the user in free space. The sensation of touch with virtual object is obtained by vibrotactile stimulation combining virtual contact information with measured forces. In this way the user has an additional dimension of interactivity at the benefit of immersivity, without incurring in the reduction of sense of presence introduced by grounded haptic interfaces. This paradigm is presented and discussed in particular in the context of a boxing training simulation, as one of the possible application scenarios.

“…Immersive simulations/games such as low-end flight simulators, and sports games such as Golf 2 , Grid-Iron Football 3 and Boxing games like 'Cyclone Uppercut' [3] fit somewhere in a continuum between serious training and pure entertainment. More commercial games such as Quake III (Cave Quake III) 4 and Unreal Tournament (CaveUT) [4] have also been produced in Cave and Dome display formats.…”

Abstract. Game playing in immersive projection environments such as caves and domes is assumed to offer an enhanced experience but there is little quantitative research that measures this. This paper reports on a study of user performance statistics while playing a computer game projected onto a planetarium dome and compares these with similar measurements taken in a conventional projected flat screen environment. A survey of users' subjective impressions of immersion was also taken and used to compare these display modes. Analysis of users in each mode revealed differences in user experience and some aspects of performance. It was confirmed that dome projection enhanced the player's sense of immersion when compared with flat projection. Navigation speed was found to decline in the dome while other performance metrics showed no significant difference between the environments.

“…With others, the projection screen works as a touch screen. There has also been a great interest in developing games that are played on large displays over the years, with several Virtual Reality ports of first person shooters, such as Doom, Quake and Unreal Tournament [1] [2][3] [12] and sports games [9][11] [17] [26]. Nevertheless, no previous systems have enabled the gamers to reach or walk straight through the screen.…”

In this paper, we describe and discuss interaction techniques and interfaces enabled by immaterial displays. Dual-sided projection allows casual face-to-face interaction between users, with computer-generated imagery in-between them. The immaterial display imposes minimal restrictions to the movements or communication of the users.As an example of these novel possibilities, we provide a detailed description of our Consigalo gaming system, which creates an enhanced gaming experience featuring sporadic and unencumbered interaction. Consigalo utilizes a robust 3D tracking system, which supports multiple simultaneous users on either side of the projection surface. Users manipulate graphics that are floating in mid-air with natural gestures. We have also added a responsive and adaptive sound track to further immerse the users in the interactive experience. We describe the technology used in the system, the innovative aspects compared to previous largescreen gaming systems, the gameplay and our lessons learned from designing and implementing the interactions, visuals and the auditory feedback.
