    Area of Science:

    • Human-Computer Interaction
    • Robotics
    • Virtual Reality

    Background:

    • Virtual Reality (VR) systems often lack realistic tactile feedback.
    • Existing haptic devices can be cumbersome or limited in the range of sensations they provide.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel 4-degrees-of-freedom (4-DoF) hand wearable haptic device for VR.
    • To design a device capable of supporting interchangeable end-effectors for diverse haptic feedback.
    • To evaluate the device's effectiveness in rendering various tactile sensations in VR.

    Main Methods:

    • The device features a static upper body and a changeable end-effector connected by articulated arms with four servo motors.
    • A position control scheme was developed to actuate a broad range of end-effectors.
    • Three representative end-effectors were designed and evaluated for rendering interactions with rigid, curved, and soft surfaces.

    Main Results:

    • The device successfully rendered sensations of interacting with surfaces of varying rigidity, curvature, and stiffness.
    • Human-subject evaluations in immersive VR confirmed the device's broad applicability.
    • The system demonstrated the ability to render rich interactions with diverse virtual objects.

    Conclusions:

    • The 4-DoF hand wearable haptic device offers a versatile platform for realistic tactile feedback in VR.
    • The interchangeable end-effector design allows for a wide range of haptic sensations.
    • The device shows significant potential for enhancing immersion and interaction in virtual environments.
