What is Hand-Based Haptic Interaction?
Haptic interactions allow users to feel feedback that mimics real-world experiences. Hand-based haptic
systems use gloves, exoskeletons or tactile stimulation to provide haptic feedback.
Gloves Exoskeletons
Track hand movements and apply vibrations Provide force feedback to the fingers,
to simulate texture, temperature, or pressure. allowing for more realistic interactions with
objects in VR.
The Importance of Haptic Feedback in
Virtual Reality
1 Improve Immersion
500 VR users were interviewed from We asked questions about the user's
different countries, ages, and professions. experience with haptic feedback systems,
their preference, and suggestions.
Findings of the Survey
The majority of users found haptic feedback helpful in immersive and interactive
experiences, with a particular preference for vibration feedback.
VR gloves were largely preferred over exoskeletons, providing greater tracking accuracy
and tactile feedback.
While most users found current haptic feedback systems sufficient, many expressed a
desire for more diverse and personalized feedback, such as heat, cold, and texture.
Conclusion and Future Directions
The survey revealed that haptic feedback is important in VR experiences, and glove-based systems are
preferred by users. Our findings suggest that continued research in haptic feedback technology could benefit
VR users.
