Quantifying Feedback Modality Contributions for a Haptic Glove in VR Assembly

An integral part of creating compelling and useful immersive virtual environments is the presence of haptic feedback, where both kinesthetic and cutaneous feedback convey unique information critical to object handling and manipulation. State-of-the-art haptic gloves are broadening the workspace and degrees of freedom for hand motion in VR,...

Designing a Haptic Palm Strap for the SenseGlove

This document details a lab study into bimanual synchronised haptics, followed by the design of a product that can be used in combination with the SenseGlove to provide their wearer with haptic feedback based on how they operate a steering mechanism in Virtual Reality. The Dutch Ministry of Defense approached SenseGlove B.V., a company...

SoftGlove: Finger Vibrotactile Feedback

In this report the finger vibrotactile subsystem of the SoftGlove wearable haptic feedback glove is discussed. This system is an upgrade over the vibrotactile feedback that the current SenseGlove haptic feedback glove provides. The designed system consists of a linear resonant actuator (LRA) on each finger, which is controlled by a dedicated LRA...

Softglove: Vibrotactile palm feedback

VR gear is in the early stages of public use. A recent development is the use of haptic feedback and gloves to improve the immersion. This reports describes some of the challenges in this field, methods to stream haptic feedback in the form of audio, potential haptic protocols and contains the design process of a haptic feedback glove for...
