Motion-based augmented broadcasting system with haptic feedback

Abstract

This paper introduces a motion-based augmented broadcasting system enabling haptic, auditory, and visual augmentation of conventional television content. An entertainment use case scenario of the proposed system is presented that comprises haptic feedback for playing along with a TV show using virtual musical instruments. In a preliminary study, the influence of providing haptic feedback as well as visual body skeleton augmentation on the performance in selecting an interactive virtual object in the augmented broadcasting system is examined. While the methods of presentation did not show significant improvements, users clearly favored haptic feedback for interaction.
