Title
Tactile Experiences for Cross Reality Applications. (Research)
Abstract
In everyday usage, our hands have a very important function and
are 'made' to manipulate things, which allows us to interact in a
fluent and comfortable way. Many current Cross Reality applications,
however, require users to perform mid-air gestures without any
sense of tangibility. Leaving out this elementary aspect of human
interaction is detrimental to the user experience and immersive
feeling. In this PhD, we will research novel techniques to generate
tactile experience for interaction, more specifically realistic
interaction with interfaces. The tactile feedback is created by
providing the user with matching physical interface elements for the
virtual interface element they want to interact with. A second track
of this PhD is studying the range of possible mismatches between
physical and virtual interface elements.
