| Abstract(in English) | This paper introduces an untethered force feedback system based on the Air Jet Interface. To create the tools for everyday life, it is necessary to develop untethered human interface technologies that do not constrain the user's activities. However, many devices in existing VR systems tether the user by wires or heavy body devices and so are annoying. We have developed a force feedback technique based on the use of air pressure toward an untethered human interface that is easy to use in everyday life. The basic idea of this force feedback interface is that air released from nozzles impacts the "air receiver" held by the user. The user perceives the air pressure as force and so feels as if he/she is touching the object. The current system employs multiple air jets arranged in a matrix to express the feel of touching three dimensional objects. In addition, a projection-based stereo display and an optical position tracking are employed to fully implement the untethered environment. |
