Abstract:
Most head-mounted display (HMD)-based virtual reality (VR) experiences are visual and auditory. These experiences can be enriched by adding tactile modality. Haptic devices have been attached to hands or installed on desks, which require additional setup time. We developed a suction-type tactile display device embedded in an HMD that realizes a hands-free tactile experience by transferring the finger sensation in VR to the face. In this study, we optimized the suction device to provide pressure sensation rather than suction and experimented to verify that the device can present simple tactile cues along with the physical properties of softness and hardness for objects in virtual contact.
