ABSTRACT
We introduce a dynamic weight moving VR controller for 2d haptic shape rendering using a haptic shape illusion. This allows users to perceive the feeling of various shapes in virtual space with a single controller. We designed a device that drives weight on a 2d planar area to alter mass properties of the hand-held controller. Our user study showed that the system succeeded in providing shape perception over a wide range.

Transcalibur: A Weight Shifting Virtual Reality Controller for 2D Shape Rendering based on Computational Perception Model
CHI '19: Proceedings of the 2019 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsHumans can estimate the shape of a wielded object through the illusory feeling of the mass properties of the object obtained using their hands. Even though the shape of hand-held objects influences immersion and realism in virtual reality (VR), it is ...
