Haptic and Auditory Feedback on Immersive Media in Virtual Reality | Proceedings of the 30th ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and Technology

contente

In Virtual Reality (VR), visual and auditory sensations are effectively leveraged to create immersive experiences. However, touch is significantly underutilized in immersive media. We enhance the VR image viewing experience by integrating haptic and auditory feedback into 3D environments constructed from immersive media. We address the challenges of utilizing depth maps from various image formats to create intractable environments. The VR experience is enhanced using vibrohaptic feedback and audio cues triggered by controller collisions with haptic materials.

Resumir
The article discusses the underutilization of touch in Virtual Reality (VR) and proposes enhancements to the VR image viewing experience by integrating haptic and auditory feedback within 3D environments. It addresses the challenges of using depth maps from various image formats to create interactive environments. The authors enhance the VR experience through vibrohaptic feedback and audio cues that are activated when controllers interact with haptic materials. This integration aims to create a more immersive experience by leveraging multiple sensory inputs, particularly focusing on the tactile aspect, which has been less explored compared to visual and auditory elements. The article references various studies and resources related to depth estimation, haptic feedback, and user interface controllers in VR, highlighting the ongoing research and development in this field. The authors emphasize the importance of cross-modal integration to improve the sense of presence in virtual environments, ultimately aiming to create a more engaging and realistic VR experience for users.
