Virtual Reality (VR) has shown its great potential from the video game industry to scientific research in recent years thanks to the advancement of VR enhancement devices like Oculus Rift and the Leap Motion. To demonstrate the usage of VR in research, this project describes a system that enables human-computer interaction through haptic feedback. In experiment, subjects can receive feedback of vibration provided by a pair of haptic gloves when touching virtual objects and then respond with the help of immersive enhancement devices.
This project offers a prototype of VR haptics integration that can be applied to various fields, in which designers are allowed to add different functions to tasks based on their own needs. In the end, we hope to build a complete VR project that can help a social cognitive research project conducted by the SCoPE Neuroscience Lab.Ope
