Abstract:
This paper explores enhancing mobile immersive augmented reality
manipulations by providing a sense of computer-captured touch through the use
of a passive deformable haptic glove that responds to objects in the physical
environment. The glove extends our existing pinch glove design with a Digital
Foam sensor that is placed under the palm of the hand. The novel glove input
device supports a range of touch-activated, precise, direct manipulation
modeling techniques with tactile feedback including hole cutting, trench
cutting, and chamfer creation. A user evaluation study comparing an image
plane approach to our passive deformable haptic glove showed that the glove
improves a user’s task performance time, decreases error rate and erroneous
hand movements, and reduces fatigue.
