Combining a range of technologies to provide users with a never-seen-before realistic experience. Feel and pick up virtuals objects around you, feel a virtual character tap you on the shoulder, feel a virtual dog jump up against you to greet you, and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does it work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The experience combines Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and tactile actuators. The player wears VR-goggles and a special suit, outfitted througout with piezo-electric actuators that can apply local pressure on the players body, and gloves with tactile actuators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Goggles<\/strong>: combine VR and AR to project the virtual environment on real surfaces, allowing the wearer to physically feel to be inside the virtual world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Suit<\/strong>: is outfitted with pressure actuators all over to simulate the feeling of touch at a specific place on the body. Around the forearms, there are longer spring-like actuators along the length of the arm, to help simulate the feeling of weight when picking up virtual objects and (limited) pushback when pushing against virtual objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Gloves<\/strong>: are outfitted with springs and spring actuators along each finger, working in tandem to create the feeling of physical resistance when picking up and holding virtual objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When combining this with placing real physical objects such as walls and crates in the playable area, this creates a truly immersive experience for players. The playable area itself is outfitted with many sensors to determine the player&#8217;s relative position to the environment and objects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Example uses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walk through a virtual forest. The tactile pressure actuators in the gloves can make a physical smooth wall feel like a rugged tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walking into a virtual village. A dog runs up to you to greet you, jumping up you. The owner comes over to apologize, placing his hand on your shoulder and shaking your hand. He reluctantly asks you to help him pick up some items that fell on the ground as he tried to keep his dog with him. You help him pick up the items, feeling their weight and structure, even though in the real world, you&#8217;re holding thin air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Playing a combat simulator. You hold a gun that isn&#8217;t really there, feeling its structure and recoil as you shoot. You run and slide over a smooth floor that feels like a rugged, muddy forest floor. You feel a couple of pinches in the back. Another player shot you with virtual bullets. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The next generation of interactive, electronic entertainment is here.
