VRTactileDraw: A Virtual Reality Tactile Pattern Designer for Complex Spatial Arrangements of Actuators

Abstract

Creating tactile patterns on the body via a spatial arrangement of many tactile actuators offers many opportunities and presents a challenge, as the design space is enormous. This paper presents a VR interface that enables designers to rapidly prototype complex tactile interfaces. It allows for painting strokes on a modeled body part and translates these strokes into continuous tactile patterns using an interpolation algorithm. The presented VR approach avoids several problems of traditional 2D editors. It realizes spatial 3D input using VR controllers with natural mapping and intuitive spatial movements. To evaluate this approach in detail, we conducted a user study and iteratively improved the system. The study participants gave predominantly positive feedback on the presented VR interface (SUS score 79.7, AttrakDiff “desirable”). The final system is released alongside this paper as an open-source Unity project for various tactile hardware.
