A Basic Study on Exercise Support System Applied with Pseudo-Haptic

Abstract

We have developed a new virtual reality system for supporting the exercise. One of objectives in the system development is the generation of force sense to the system user without complex haptics devices by introducing the Pseudo-Haptic. In this paper, we had examined the generation of the Pseudo-Haptic with the change of operability. In the experimental system, the character on a computer screen moves with motion of user's hands captured by Kinect sensor. The experimental results suggest that the Pseudo-Haptic generate on examinee's arm with speed-up or slowdown of the character moving.
