Title:


    Alice in Gravityland: Augmenting Gravity Experiences with Around-the-Head Vibrotactile Feedback and Illusory Tactile Motion

Presenter(s):


Description:


    Alice in Gravityland is a VR adventure exploring three gravity experiences with novel, around-the-head vibrotactile feedback using illusory tactile motion. Players are able to 1) change the direction of gravity, 2) navigate through zero gravity, and 3) defy gravity as they walk on walls. The haptic feedback helps improve players’ sense of directionality to improve immersion when experiencing gravity events. Inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865), the game invites players to alter gravity to solve puzzles and experience gravity in a unique way through this multi-sensory VR adventure.
