Abstract

Virtual reality environment gives a variety of realistic experience to users. To provide realistic information to the users in virtual reality, several devices are necessary. The visual and auditory information is transferred by VR goggle. The tactile information can be provided by tactile transfer device. In this research, we, therefore, suggest tactile transfer gloves that can be used with VR goggle. The glove is consisted of flex sensor, vibration motor, fabric glove, and electrical circuit. The resistance sensor, which changes with the degree of flexion, controls intension and frequency of the vibration motor. Consequently the glove give tactile feedback to users by regulating intension and frequency of motor depending on degree of flexion of finger. The developed tactile transfer glove can be used to provide realistic information for users in virtual reality environment.
