Zusammenfassung

We studied a novel combination of a hardware-based technique and a software-based pseudo-haptic approach to achieve a continuous VR weight illusion. While a modified VR controller renders adaptive trigger resistance during grasping, a manipulation of the control-display ratio (C/D ratio) induces a sense of weight during lifting. In a psychophysical study, we tested our combined approach against the individual rendering techniques. Our findings show that participants were significantly more sensitive towards smaller weight differences in the combined weight simulations and determined weight differences faster. Our work demonstrates the meaningful benefit of combining physical and virtual methods for virtual weight perception.
