DualVib

Simulating Haptic Sensation of Dynamic Mass by Combining Pseudo-Force and Texture Feedback

DualVib

We present DualVib, a compact handheld device that simulates the haptic sensation of manipulating dynamic mass. Unlike other devices that require actual displacement of weight, DualVib uses four vibration actuators to simultaneously deliver pseudo-force feedback and texture feedback. Our user study found that DualVib allowed users to more effectively distinguish dynamic masses compared to either feedback alone.
