Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Although video and audio are mainly used to transmit information from cyberspace to physical space, force feedback can also be an effective interface. However, conventional force-feedback devices have limitations when applied to wearable devices. In this study, we developed a force-feedback system that is wearable and does not require reaction force support by using air jets. Three research items were conducted: development of a force-feedback module, elucidation of the basic effects on humans when force is used as an interface and construction of a control system, and development and evaluation of a motion teaching system. As research results, three applications were reported: a hand translation guidance device, posture teaching with a table tennis racket, and path guidance with a white cane device. Based on these results, the proposed method is a promising force presentation system and is expected to be applied in the real world.
