In this study, we explore the entertainment value of the activity of sensing imperceptible static electricity and present a VR system in which a player tactilely detects static electricity presented in a 360° radius around the forearm within the virtual space, and removes it using a controller. To achieve this, we developed a static electricity haptic device featuring two charging elements that rotate around the forearm. To enhance the perceived presence of the static electricity, vibration of the charging elements is also employed.

摘要

In this study, we explore the entertainment value of the activity of sensing imperceptible static electricity and present a VR system in which a player tactilely detects static electricity presented in a 360° radius around the forearm within the virtual space, and removes it using a controller. To achieve this, we developed a static electricity haptic device featuring two charging elements that rotate around the forearm. To enhance the perceived presence of the static electricity, vibration of the charging elements is also employed.
