風インタフェースによる垂直面への接触感覚の提示(人工現実感)

概要

We have developed the Air Jet Interface, which is a haptic virtual reality interface that eliminates all the wires or arms normally needed to provide force feedback. This interface presents a 3D image of one or more virtual objects on a table that is embedded with 100 air jet nozzles. The airflow impacts the paddle held by the user, and this impact makes the user feel the resistance from the virtual object. In this paper, we focus on overcoming the major limitation of the Air Jet Interface: the inability of presenting horizontal force. We have proposed a novel way to produce horizontal force by precisely applying the upward air flow to specially designed fins attached to the paddle. We confirmed the feasibility of the proposed method in experiments.
