Enhancing Visuo-Haptic Coherency by Manipulating Fingertip Contact Tilt
This study investigates the manipulation of fingertip contact plane manipulation to enhance visuo-haptic coherency of virtual object. We designed a compact device that adjusts fingertip contact plane tilt to simulate diverse 3D shapes. Through user studies, the device demonstrated significant improvements in haptic realism, enjoyment, and operability compared to conventional methods. These findings highlight the potential of fingertip contact plane manipulation as a novel approach for advancing virtual reality (VR) haptic interfaces, enabling more immersive and realistic experiences.
