We propose a novel heuristic model of vibrotactile feedbacks elicitation. The model is based on two known tactile elicitation principles, i.e. perceived tactile sensation and apparent haptic motion. Our previous studies, along with empirical reviews were used to provide an insight of how these two principles work individually. Our preceding works on the mapping of texture phase diagram of artificial vibrotactile stimuli reveals 3 main perceived vibrotactile sensation, i.e. dampness, friction, and hardness. Furthermore, we have conducted a preliminary research to observe apparent haptic motion in our proposed haptic vest interface. Our findings and the empirical reviews imply that these two haptic principles can be used concurrently to create a novel user experience.

“…There are several researchers that use a vest, or other wearable interfaces, like a belt [19] for guiding a user in a specific path, placing vibration motors on upper back instead of the shoulders and upper trunk [20]. Dharma et al [21] have applied the same procedure with actuators in medium and lower back and abdomen. Finally, Prasad et al have created a haptic vest for obstacle avoidance [22] and guidance of bikers [23].…”

Abstract. This paper is focused on the development of a haptic vest to enhance immersion and realism in virtual environments, through vibrotactile feedback. The first steps to achieve touch-based communication are presented in order to set an actuation method based on vibration motors. Resulting vibrotactile patterns helping users to move inside virtual reality (VR). The research investigates human torso resolution and perception of vibration patterns, evaluating different kind of actuators at different locations on the vest. Finally, determining an appropriate distribution of vibration patterns allowed the generation of sensations that, for instance, help to guide in a mixed or virtual reality environment.

Haptic Devices: Wearability-Based Taxonomy and Literature Review

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

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.
