Abstract

This paper proposes a novel approach to provide stiffness feedback in VR utilizing the inherent characteristics of encounter-type haptic devices (ETHDs). The method aims to provide a sense of object's deformation and enhance users' perception of stiffness when touching objects. We explored how to minimize the influence of hardness on stiffness perception and selected materials for the soft, medium, and hard hardness mapping groups to adapt to users' perceptions when touching objects of different hardness levels. Using this system, we compared and evaluated the method with a touch interaction without stiffness perceptions and found a better performance in terms of realism, possibility to act, attractiveness, efficiency.
