Demonstrating WAVY: a hand wearable with force and vibrotactile feedback for multimodal interaction in Virtual Reality
While the public has access to audio and visual stimuli in virtual reality (VR) thanks to affordable and light headsets, the haptic sense (i.e. the sense of touch) is often lacking or restricted to controllers’ vibrations. Besides, commercial haptic wearables remain too expensive for the mass market. Thus, we designed an affordable and light hand wearable that combines tracking, multi-point vibrations and force feedback for the palm and the fingers. The wearable is demonstrated in a VR scenario.
