“…The second understanding about their evaluations is that, with the exception of [21] that did not perform any, all studies collected qualitative data through questionnaires [17,22,41,70,71], interviews [4,31,70] and/or think-aloud methods [55]. Evaluations were performed using Likert Scale or variations, such as ASHRAE, a Likert based scale specifically designed to measure temperature [2,4,17,71] generally in addition with ANOVA [5,17,18,31,34,35,63,70,71].…”

“…Moreover, multisensory devices are so diverse that there is no single standard methodology for their evaluation. Most studies presented here, when evaluated, used an environment (virtual or not) in conjunction with the constructed device and applied user questionnaires and/or interview for user feedback and qualitative data [17].…”

“…Han et al [17] presented in 2019 the Hapmosphere system which simulates the climatic conditions of the environment, allowing to supply wind, hot wind, humidity and heat, simultaneously. The system consists of a steerable structure with actuator modules manipulated on the ceiling, so that users can freely walk around the room using a head mounted display.…”

In order to create immersive experiences in virtual worlds, we need to explore different human senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch). Many different devices have been developed by both industry and academia towards this aim. In this paper, we focus our attention on the researched area of thermal and wind devices to deliver the sensations of heat and cold against people’s skin and their application to human-computer interaction (HCI). First, we present a review of devices and their features that were identified as relevant. Then, we highlight the users’ experience with thermal and wind devices, highlighting limitations either found or inferred by the authors and studies selected for this survey. Accordingly, from the current literature, we can infer that, in wind and temperature-based haptic systems (i) users experience wind effects produced by fans that move air molecules at room temperature, and (ii) there is no integration of thermal components to devices intended for the production of both cold or hot airflows. Subsequently, an analysis of why thermal wind devices have not been devised yet is undertaken, highlighting the challenges of creating such devices.

Pseudo-Wind Perception Induced by Cross-Modal Reproduction of Thermal, Vibrotactile, Visual, and Auditory Stimuli

Numerous wind displays have been developed to provide wind sensation in virtual reality applications. However, in previous studies, wind displays required the production of physical wind using a wind source. To release cold or hot wind, previous wind displays required large equipment for making the air temperature changes. In this study, we propose to induce pseudo-wind perception, perceiving wind even in the absence of physical wind, using visuo-audio-haptic cross-modal effects. We provide audio-visual stimuli with a head-mounted display and headphones, and vibrotactile and thermal stimuli to the skin using belt-type devices, instead of physical wind. We found that vibrotactile and thermal stimuli based on the measurement of skin displacement and temperature exposed to the wind are suitable for the tactile sensation of wind. We also found that thermal and audio-visual stimuli can induce wind sensation of cold wind, and that vibro-thermal stimuli in addition to audio-visual stimuli are effective for the wind sensation and realness of the experience of hot wind. In future, inducing variable types of wind sensations will be pursued as a research direction regarding pseudo-wind perception.

“…Researchers have also utilized thermal stimuli to improve the sense of presence or the quality of the experience of VR applications, such as images indicating temperature, snow, rain, and heaters [7], [9]- [12]. In research on communication and emotional experiences, they have added thermal stimuli to messages and music to enrich affective experiences [13]- [16].…”

Coldness Presentation Depending on Motion to Enhance the Sense of Presence in a Virtual Underwater Experience

In virtual reality (VR), there is consumer demand for underwater world experiences. To address this demand, previous studies have presented coldness to enhance the sense of presence in virtual underwater experiences. We considered that we could further improve the sense of presence and the experiential quality of underwater VR simulations by making the coldness presentation more realistic. We also considered that methods of presenting coldness continuously would have a wider application range. In this research, with reference to actual water behavior, we propose a method that presents coldness depending on whether it is moving. We conducted an experiment comparing the sense of presence between the steadystate temperatures of 24.9 ± 1.9 • C / 27.8 ± 2.7 • C and the proposed method, the temperature of which moves between the aforementioned temperatures as the user moves and stops. The results show that the proposed method yielded higher scores than the higher steady-state temperature in "closeness of overall sensation" and "closeness of thermal sensation". For the lower steady-state temperature, the proposed method achieved the same sense of presence improvement while removing less heat. This extends the experiential duration. Meanwhile, for those who noticed the temperature change, the proposed method yielded higher scores than the lower steady-state temperature in "realness" and "closeness of thermal sensation". To further improve effectiveness of the proposed method, it is important to not only change the temperature but also to notice the temperature change. This method is suitable for several virtual underwater applications, such as education and training.
