Haptic and Auditory Feedback on Immersive Media in Virtual Reality

In Virtual Reality (VR), visual and auditory sensations are effectively leveraged to create immersive experiences. However, touch is significantly underutilized in immersive media. We enhance the VR image viewing experience by integrating haptic and auditory feedback into 3D environments constructed from immersive media. We address the challenges of utilizing depth maps from various image formats to create intractable environments. The VR experience is enhanced using vibrohaptic feedback and audio cues triggered by controller collisions with haptic materials.
