IMMERSIVE VIRTUAL REALITY SUPPORTING CONTENT FOR EVALUATING INTERFACE USING OCULUS RIFT AND LEAP MOTION

In this study, the head-mounted display (HMD) and the haptic device are used in conjunction as a method to provide feedback to the users in order for more realistic work to be conducted in the virtual space. The VR environment was created with Unity, which can manipulate machines in a virtual space. A Leap Motion controller was used to track and display the hand of each subject in a VR environment. The haptic device was configured using Arduino and a vibration motor to provide feedback on the fingertips. As a result, the tracking of the hand using Leap Motion together with gloves shows that the detection rate greatly differs depending on the material of the glove. Using the VR environment and the haptic feedback, we demonstrate the effectiveness of intuitive operation, which is similar to reality.
