Perceptual Attraction Force - Buru-Navi (Lead-me interface)

Principal researcher

Project details

Start date: 2004
End date: Ongoing

Description: The project is investigating the phenomenon of haptic illusion (using the characteristic of human perception) and using this phenomenon to develop a force-feedback haptic device. The project aims to use the non-linearity of human perception to induce a force vector, based on the perception method of force sensation; humans feel rapid acceleration more strongly than slow acceleration. This haptic "wash-out" is then utilised to generate a pull sensation. The force display module would replace (or work in conjunction with) vibrators in all mobile devices. Applications include a cellular phone that draws your hand where you want to go.
