Abstract

Wind displays reproduce cutaneous stimuli of wind by blowing actual airflow to make virtual content more immersive. However, reproducing the sensation of a strong wind across the whole body, as might be used in educational or entertainment scenarios, typically requires large and cumbersome wind fans. WearSway is a compact and lightweight wearable haptic device that simulates the swaying of clothes in the wind to express the strong wind without large equipment. The device achieves this by using motors and strings to sway the clothing and a small fan to provide wind sensation. While most existing wind displays stimulate the skin directly, WearSway introduces a novel approach by leveraging the movement of clothing to deliver a strong wind simulation.
