Abstract:Past Virtual Reality (VR) research shows that haptic feedback increases presence and improves users' task performance. However, providing haptic feedback for multiple virtual objects usually requires complex, immobile systems, or multiple haptic props. We present a new approach that applies deformable, shape-changing devices to VR haptics, leveraging the dominance of human vision in VR to provide realistic haptic feedback with physical shape approximations. Our first study evaluates our HaptoBend prototype thr… Show more
