Abstract:This chapter explores how the realism of haptic perception in virtual reality can be significantly enhanced with the help of the concept of haptic proxy. In haptic proxy, the position and orientation of physical objects are tracked in real-time and registered to their virtual counterparts. A compelling sense of tactile immersion can be achieved if the tracked objects have similar tactile properties to their virtual counterpart. A haptic proxy prototype was developed, and a pilot study was conducted to determin… Show more
