The haptic feedback design of augmented reality virtual keyboard on the air

Abstract

With the promoting of the computing capacity system, the augmented reality (AR) technology has been gradually used in daily life application. And augmented reality on the hardware device can become smaller which is allowing user easy to carry. However, the location of virtual model in the AR technology on the reality just has air, which means people cannot touch the model actually. Therefore, augmented reality device still does not have ubiquitous haptic feedback equipment to give the user good haptic perception and operation experiment like other portable device such as mobile phone or tablet today. This study try to design the haptic feedback device for augmented reality virtual keyboard on the air, we use focus group to find the innovation idea of haptic feedback for augmented reality, and we create a simple and normal structure to achieve the goal without any high technology equipment. We hope this study cans give the reference for future study of augment reality haptic feedback and also influence the operate posture and interface of augmented reality device. © 2014 Springer International Publishing.
