Abstract
This paper proposes a mobile racing game prototype system where a player haptically senses the state of a car and the road condition with a vibrotactile signal generation method. The vibrotactile signal generation method provides variable vibrotactile effects according to a user’s interaction with the graphic environment. The generated vibrotactile effects are used for the input of an eccentric vibration motor and a solenoid actuator in order to convey vibrotactile information with a large bandwidth to the players. To evaluate the proposed racing game, six persons experience two kinds of racing game; one with vibrotactile feedback, the other without vibrotactile feedback. The experiment shows that the proposed game with vibrotactile feedback provides players with increased levels of realism and immersion.
