Low-cost VR Collaborative System equipped with Haptic Feedback
This is an incremental improvement for VR users seeking cost-effective collaborative experiences with tactile feedback.
The paper tackles the challenge of creating an affordable VR collaborative system with haptic feedback, resulting in a functional prototype using low-cost components like Kinect, microcontrollers, and smartphones.
In this paper, we present a low-cost virtual reality (VR) collaborative system equipped with a haptic feedback sensation system. This system is composed of a Kinect sensor for bodies and gestures detection, a microcontroller and vibrators to simulate outside interactions, and smartphone powered cardboard, all of this are put into a network implemented with Unity 3D game engine.
