HandLe: Mid-air Contactless Haptics for Generation of the Letters on Human Hand
摘要
Nowadays people would like to be much more engaged when they are using different solutions. It is especially observable in computer games. The user is not feeling comfortable when is listening to the AI-based generated voice or scene. The player would like to feel the surroundings with his hand. Virtual or Extended Reality does not provide such impressions. Touch is an important sense with which we discover the world. In that work, we propose a novel idea to improve the experiences of the players. Within the scope of this work, we prepare extension for simple game called “hangman”. It is done with mid-air haptics that is used to generate single letters and even whole words on the user’s hand. The word can be guessed based on impressions generated in the palm. The participants from the testing group confirmed that the proposed approach made them more engaged and improve in-game experiences.
