Abstract

Because virtual reality (VR) systems are accessible to anyone through inexpensive high-end consumer headsets and input devices, researchers are seeking a technique to enrich the VR experience using modalities other than audiovisual ones, such as touch. The author is developing a haptic display that utilizes the properties of human illusions, which makes humans experience an illusory force similar to the sensation of being pulled continuously in a particular direction through asymmetric vibrations. Using illusory force in the VR applications is not a popular concept. This paper discusses the possibility of whether such a pseudo-attraction force can be applied to VR applications and introduces several applications for the implementation of this pseudo-attraction force in real world scenarios.
