What impact does the haptic-stereo integration have on depth perception in stereographic virtual environment? A preliminary study

Abstract

The present work aims to study the possibility of displaying force feedback along with stereo graphic in virtual reality interaction. During the different experiments we investigated the effect of providing haptic sensation on Human’s instable stereopsis depth perception. From the different result and discussions we find that such haptic-stereo coupling improved the instability of stereopsis depth perception. As well clearly shortened the necessary time for depth judgment. Which are 2 important factors for interactive mixed reality systems. However, current experiments didn’t show to which extent the hapticstereo coupling improved the accuracy of localizing and manipulating objects in virtual environment.
