Title:
- Demonstration of ElaStick: A Variable Stiffness Display for Rendering Handheld Flexible Object
Organizer(s)/Presenter(s):
Description:
We present ElaStick, a variable stiffness VR controller that allows experiencing the illusion of wielding objects of various flexibility. In our demo session, participants can experience firsthand (1) the stiffness of swords with different length and shape, and (2) changing flexibility due to interaction in VR.
