| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
When a human places his hands over a source of heat, his hands become worm owing to thermal radiation. In this research, we employ spatially controlled thermal radiation to display a virtual shape. At a temperature near the nociceptive temperature, a person will tend to avoid a heated region. Using this space, our proposed system displays the virtual shape-like region.
Using the prototype system, we held experiments and revealed that the spatially-controlled thermal radiation realized spatially fixed sensation of "softness" or "plane."
In addition, we proposed a calibration method of the system with the computer vision technologies, and realized a precise alignment.
