Tactile Interaction With Virtual Reality Content Theme Immersive Technology Project proposed & supervised by Lorenzo Jamone To discuss whether this project could become your PhD proposal please email: l.jamone@qmul.ac.uk < Back Tactile Interaction With Virtual Reality Content Project proposal abstract: Most feedback in current computer games is visual (i.e. what you see on the screen), with haptic feedback restricted to very simple vibrations of a hand-held device (e.g. a PlayStation or Oculus controller). But what if you could really "touch" and "feel" with your full hands everything you see in the game, and especially in a VR game? Imagine what Minecraft VR would be like: putting your hands in the water, or inside the mud, or through a bunch of leaves, and really feeling the difference in the texture; hitting, picking, moving, using, throwing any object would feel more natural, more real. In this project the student will explore the use of a wearable glove (that includes hand motion tracking and distributed vibrating motors to give tactile feedback about the physical interactions happening in VR) to obtain effective tactile human-computer interaction in VR games. Interestingly, this technology has ample applications also in other human-computer interaction (e.g. tactile internet, tactile TV) and robotics (e.g. teleoperation) settings. The project will require very good software programming skills; a very basic knowledge of electronics would be also beneficial.

iGGi Partners We are excited to be collaborating with a number of industry partners. IGGI works with industry in some of the following ways: Student Industry Knowledge Transfer - this can take many forms, from what looks like a traditional placement, to a short term consultancy, to an ongoing relationship between the student and their industry partner. Student Sponsorship - for some of our students, their relationship with their industry partner is reinforced by sponsorship from the company. This is an excellent demonstration of the strength of the commitment and the success of the collaborations. In Kind Contributions - IGGI industry partners can contribute by attending and/or featuring in our annual conference, offering their time to give talks and masterclasses for our students, or even taking part in our annual game jam! There are many ways for our industry partners to work with IGGI. If you are interested in becoming involved, please do contact us so we can discuss what might be suitable for you. Monash University
