Self-Shape-Sensing Device with Flexible Mechanical Axes for Deformable Input Interface

This paper describes a newly developed 3-D shape modeling system, in which a user can design a free-form surface as if he or she actually manipulates a flexible object made from rubber or clay. Such reality can be realized in the system without any ...

Sketching precisely in Virtual Reality (VR) is challenging due to the lack of a physical surface for users to lean on, feel the contact and the movement of the pen, and constrain the pen movement. Using physical surface interfaces, such as a touch ...

PaCaPa is a handheld device that presents haptic stimuli on a user's palm when the user interacts with virtual objects using virtual tools. It is a box-shaped device and has two wings. This device can present the contact force and contact angle by ...
