タブレット間通信とポータブルな力覚提示デバイスを用いた力学学習支援システム

抄録

In this paper, learning support system about physical dynamics (especially impulse) using multiple tablet PCs and portable haptic devices (called as SPIDAR-tablet) is proposed. In this system, the virtual environment to perform experiments about physical dynamics is constructed. All users using this system can access this virtual environment from tablet PCs. And by using haptic devices, users can feel various forces (touch force, impulse and so on) in virtual environment. In addition, interconnected tablet PCs share a virtual environment therefore it is expected that proposed system is used for collaborative learning. In the verification, it was confirmed learner's discrimination threshold on virtual environment. And it was shown that the learner can experience variation of impulse in the virtual environment by using haptic devices.
