Wearable jamming mitten for virtual environment haptics

摘要: This paper presents a new mitten incorporating vacuum layer jamming technology to provide haptic feedback user. We demonstrate that can be successfully applied mitten, and discuss advantages provides as wearable through its low profile form factor. Jamming differs from traditional systems by restricting user's movement, rather than applying an actuation force on the body. Restricting movement is achieved varying stiffness of items, such gloves. performed pilot study where qualitative results showed users found sensation similar grasping physical counterpart.
