DYNAMIC GLOVES TO CONVEY SENSE OF TOUCH AND MOVEMENT FOR VIRTUAL OBJECTS IN HMD RENDERED ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

A system and method of using a peripheral device for interfacing with a virtual reality scene generated by a computer for presentation on a head mounted display. The peripheral device includes a haptic device capable of being placed in contact with a user and a haptic feedback controller for processing instructions for outputting a haptic signal to the haptic device. The haptic feedback controller receiving the instructions from the computer so that haptic feedback of the haptic device changes to correspond to a user's virtual interactions with a virtual object in the virtual reality scene as presented on the head mounted display.
