“Bottomless Joystick 2” by Katsumoto
Description:
Bottomless Joystick is a mid-air interaction device which produces the maneuvering feeling of a joystick without the need for a table. By utilizing a motor-powered gimbal mechanism, a counterweight, and IMU, our interface makes a virtual anchoring point in midair, and it provides a haptic sensation similar to that of a conventional joystick. In this paper, we propose new usages, especially when using multiple Bottomless Joysticks.
