Exploring Vibration Intensity Map Of Hand Postures For Haptic Rendering In XR

Abstract

In this study, we explore the effect of hand posture on haptic experience within the hand. With the wide acceptability of using the hand as an input in the XR, it is important to find out the positive and negative effects of hand postures on the haptic experience. We measured the vibration intensity of the hand using an accelerometer on various hand postures. Our results showed that distinctive hand postures alter the vibrotactile actuator’s tactile feedback across the hand.
