Title:

    Haptic ring: touching virtual creatures in mixed reality environments

Presenter(s)/Author(s):



Abstract:


    We propose a new method for Symmetrical Haptic Interaction System with Virtual Creatures (VCs) in Mixed Reality. It’s achieved by small and light haptic interface and Reactive VCs with touch sensations. People can touch VCs directly by fingers and watch their reaction. And VCs also can touch us directly.
