When Fingers Become Tools: Rendering Virtual Tool Inertia with a Finger-Mounted Extending Rod

We present the Finger-Mounted Extending Rod, a wearable device that transforms fingers into virtual tools by modulating fingertip mass distribution. We employ linear actuators on fingers that extend or retract metal rods according to their poses, generating rotational inertia while redirecting the hand to natural grip…

From Disruption to Immersion: Reimagining Vehicle Motion as Environmental Feedback through Force Mappings in In-Car VR

This study investigates how vehicle motion can be reinterpreted as perceptually coherent multisensory feedback for in-car VR applications, expanding beyond traditional motion-based experiences. We introduce the concept of force mappings, a design space that translates vehicle-induced physical forces such as from accel…

AttraCar: Multisensory In-Car VR with Thermal, Airflow, and Motion Feedback through Built-In Vehicle Systems

We introduce AttraCar, a novel multisensory in-car Virtual Reality (VR) platform that delivers thermal, airflow, and motion feedback using built-in vehicle systems. Leveraging the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system for airflow and thermal variation, and the power seat for motion feedback, percept…

EarPressure VR: Ear Canal Pressure Feedback for Enhancing Environmental Presence in Virtual Reality

This study presents EarPressure VR, a system that modulates ear canal pressure to simulate atmospheric pressure changes in virtual reality (VR). EarPressure VR employs sealed earbuds and a linear stepper motor–driven syringe to generate controlled pressure variations within safe limits (±40 hPa relative to ambient pre…

I Want to Break Free: Enabling User-Applied Active Locomotion in In-Car VR through Contextual Cues

We explore the feasibility of active user-applied locomotion in virtual reality (VR) within in-car environments, diverging from previous in-car VR research that synchronized virtual motion with the car's movement. Through a two-step study, we examined the effects of locomotion methods on user experience in dynamic veh…

TelePulse: Enhancing the Teleoperation Experience through Biomechanical Simulation-Based Electrical Muscle Stimulation in Virtual Reality

This paper introduces TelePulse, a system integrating biomechanical simulation with electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to provide precise haptic feedback for robot teleoperation tasks in virtual reality (VR). TelePulse has two components: a physical simulation part that calculates joint torques based on real-time for…

Flip-Pelt: Motor-Driven Peltier Elements for Rapid Thermal Stimulation and Congruent Pressure Feedback in Virtual Reality

This study introduces "Flip-Pelt," a motor-driven peltier device designed to provide rapid thermal stimulation and congruent pressure feedback in virtual reality (VR) environments. Our system incorporates eight motor-driven peltier elements, allowing for the flipping of preheated or cooled elements to the opposite sid…

ErgoPulse: Electrifying Your Lower Body With Biomechanical Simulation-based Electrical Muscle Stimulation Haptic System in Virtual Reality

This study presents ErgoPulse, a system that integrates biomechanical simulation with electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to provide kinesthetic force feedback to the lower-body in virtual reality (VR). ErgoPulse features two main parts: a biomechanical simulation part that calculates the lower-body joint torques to r…
