Bubble popping system using ibro-tactile mouse for augmented reality

초록

As one of applications in virtual/augmented realities, this paper presents a bubble popping system utilizing a vibro-tactile mouse. In this system, virtual bubbles randomly float in the 3D space. By using the vibro-tactile mouse grabbed by a user, the bubbles are popped when they are touched by the mouse in the 3D space. Then a bubble popping effect (i.e., mouse vibration.) is delivered to the user's hand through the mouse. When, making a movement of the ball, the virtual ball shown on the screen, also moves following the trajectory of the mouse. If it touches a graphic bubble, then the graphic bubble pops and the vibration, eeling is delivered to the user's finger. In experiments, we tested the proposed system and it was validated that the system delivers a new concept of user interfaces. Further two bubble popping events, fade-in. and diverging fade-in. effects are proposed so that the visual popping events can deliver enhanced augmented reality along with the vibration, effect. © 2011 ISSN 2185-2766.
