Exploration of On-skin Interfaces to Enhance Immersive Experiences and Promote Inclusive Applications

The Cave Automatic Virtual Environment system (CAVE-like system) system [1] provides a physically immersive environment for both normal users and users with disabilities. However, the commonly used handheld controllers, while effective, limit user immersion and exclude some individuals with physical disabilities. We would like to propose an innovative interface device aimed at improving user immersion and accessibility in a CAVE-like system. The interface utilizes a nanogenerator-based pulse for signal generation and incorporates a nexus for real-time signal analysis and instruction generation with assistance of tracking system in CAVE-like system. The device provides users and designers with considerable flexibility to develop interactions tailored to specific gestures, physical capabilities, and ergonomic considerations, effectively overcoming the constraints associated with traditional handheld controllers.
