VR空間内で落下感覚を提示可能な装着型足底装置の開発

抄録

In recent years, force feedback devices have been developed to improve the reality of VR experiences. However, most of the general force feedback devices target the upper limbs. By realizing force feedback to the lower limbs, it will be possible to realize an experience in VR space that cannot be achieved by force feedback to the upper limbs alone. The authors have clarified the perceptual characteristics of the human dropping sensation in order to present force feedback to the lower limbs. In this study, we developed a wearable force feedback device that can present the sensation of dropping in VR space.
