ABSTRACT
The lack of tangibility while interacting with virtual objects can be compensated by adding haptic and/or tactile devices or actuators to enhance the user experience. In this demonstration, we present two scenarios that consist of perceiving moving objects on the human body (insects) and feeling physical sensations of virtual thermal objects.

Tactile Drones - Providing Immersive Tactile Feedback in Virtual Reality through Quadcopters
CHI EA '17: Proceedings of the 2017 CHI Conference Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsHead-mounted displays for virtual reality (VR) provide high-fidelity visual and auditory experiences. Other modalities are currently less supported. Current commercial devices typically deliver tactile feedback through controllers the user holds in the ...
Physically touching and tasting virtual objects enhances the realism of virtual experiences
Experiment 1 explored the impact of physically touching a virtual object on how realistic the virtual environment (VE) seemed to the user. Subjects in a `no touch' group picked up a 3D virtual image of a kitchen plate in a VE, using a traditional 3D ...
Using haptics to improve immersion in virtual environments
ICCS'06: Proceedings of the 6th international conference on Computational Science - Volume Part IICurrent immersive Virtual Reality (VR) system strategies do not fully support dynamic Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and since there is a growing need for better immersion, due consideration should be given to integrate additional modalities for ...
