Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 機械工程學研究所 === 103 === Virtual Reality (VR) technology are increasingly used in complex engineering applications, and it holds promise as a future mainstream product design and entertainment tool. However, intuitive control of the design process and realistic representation of user perception needs to be addressed before it can be successfully integrated into the standard product design processes. This research presents the development of a wearable vibrotactile glove and integration with wireless hand tracking in immersive VR environment. By introducing a vibrotactile glove that is capable of providing finger-wise tactile feedback and Leap Motion hand tracking device, immersion in the VR environment can be greatly enhanced. The results of the user test show that the proposed system provides desirable interactive properties. A subjective tactile sensation test was also conducted to attempt to establish a relation between various vibration parameters and sensation adjectives. The results of this study not only contribute to the development of a more realistic, modular, and wearable virtual assembly interface, but also provide a suggestion on how to model tactile feedback through adjustment of different parameters.
