WeightMorphy: A dynamic weight-shifting method to enhance the virtual experience with body deformation

We propose WeightMorphy, a hand-mounted system designed to improve the operability and immersive experience of teleoperation manipulation by changing the moment of inertia. This system reduces the discrepancy between the visual shape of the virtual hand and its corresponding moment of inertia, enabling instantaneous control by the user while maintaining accuracy. We have provided a detailed description of the design and concept of our system and conducted experiments to examine the effect of shifting the center of gravity on the operability of the deformable virtual hand using WeightMorphy.
