Abstract:
Telexistence [Tachi 2010] systems require physical limbs for remote object manipulation [Fernando et al. 2012]. Having arms and hands synchronized with voluntary movements it allows a user to feel the robot‘s body as his own body through visual, auditory, and haptic sensation. With Enforced Telexistence, we introduce a novel technique that provides virtual arms for existing telexistence systems that does not have any arms and allow the user to have an experience of embodied enforcement towards the remote environment. This virtual extended arms can be extended to touch and feel remote objects that is unreachable. When the user touches a remote object, a functional virtual copy will pop-up and interface between virtual and the remote world. Enforced Telexistence not only allows a user to experience a non existing arm in telexistence, but also allows to enforce remote environment in various ways.
