Demonstration of JetUnit: Rendering Diverse Force Feedback in Virtual Reality Using Water Jets

JetUnit [21] is a water-based VR haptic system capable of generating a diverse range of perceived force intensities and frequencies through water jets. A key challenge in designing this system was optimizing parameters to enable the haptic device to produce force feedback that closely mimics the most intense force achievable with direct water jets, while ensuring the user remains dry. In this demonstration, we showcase JetUnit by integrating our haptic solutions into various virtual reality interactions, including touch, poking, injection, and recurring pulsing and wave signals.
