Traxion: a tactile interaction device with virtual force sensation from rkmtlab on Vimeo.
This research introduces a mechanism to induce a virtual force based on human illusory sensations. An asymmetric signal is applied to a tactile actuator such that the user feels the device is being pulled or pushed in a particular direction, although it is not supported by any mechanical connection to other objects or the ground. The proposed device is smaller and lighter than any previous force-feedback devices. This small form factor allows the device to be implemented in several interactive applications, such as a pedestrian navigation or an untethered input device with virtual force.
