- HangerBody: a Haptic Device Using Haptic Illusion for Multiple Parts of Body
Organizer(s)/Presenter(s):
Description:
The hanger reflex is a phenomenon in which a strong sense of rotational force is perceived when one wares a wire hanger on his/her head. This phenomenon is caused by lateral skin stretch generated by pressure from the wire hanger on the head, and similar phenomena have been observed in the wrist, ankle, knee and elbow. However, the hanger reflex has been applied to only one part of the body, but not to multiple parts of the body simultaneously. In this study, we propose the HangerBody system, which applies the hanger reflex to multiple parts of body simultaneously in order to expand the range of applications. In this paper, we introduce the system configuration and some examples of applying the system to VR games, sports training, rehabilitation, and remote assistance.
