High resolution haptic sensing system in virtual reality

| Summary: | One of the ways to know and to determine one's shape is through the sense of touch. Even in the absence of vision, it would still be possible to recognize one's shape by simply touching the surface. However, there are things that you cannot touch. And even though the use of vision may be difficult, you can still identify the object's shape or figure by using devices such as cameras. In this study, the researchers aim to feel and identify the shape of an object that you cannot see, and more importantly, an object that does not physically exist.
This thesis is making use of human's haptic sense in order to feel the shape of the object without it being physically present. The shape of the objects coming from the computer will be felt by the user through a matrix of tactile pins. Each pin corresponds to one motor which is controlled by a motor driver. Data information sent to the motor driver will come from the microcontroller which is connected to the computer via RS232. |
