Abstract

We present a proof-of-concept for pseudohaptic feedback in gripping interactions. This paper includes a review about known applications of pseudohaptic feedback in virtual reality and teleoperation as well as the results of an identification experiment in a gripping task. In this experiment, 16 subjects identified five stimuli with different compliances. Independent factors were the visual condition (side or top view of the gripper) and the compliance of the human-machine-interface (stiff or compliant). A mean information transfer of \(1.09 \pm 0.25\,\text {bit}\) (mean and standard deviation) in 60 trials was achieved by the participants. However, a large and significant habituation effect was found. It leads to an increased information transfer of \(1.47\pm 0.29\,\text {bit}\) in the last 15 trials of the experiment. The visual condition exhibits a small effect with a mean difference of 0.14 bit for all trials, no effect was found for the compliance of the HMI.

    With exemption of frequency - in this case, up to seven different stimuli are discernible.
