Mixed Reality and Haptic Feedback

 

What if you could touch the hologram and feel what they are, feel the texture and motion them? haptic feedback is the next level of reality mix that still need to be developed, tested and refined until it becomes ready for mass distribution and use. The only form of haptic feedback we can easily access today is our smartphone ringtone vibrations. Others require a special haptic gloves that are still under development.

There are two important types of haptic feedback which can help us to feel the virtual world:

• Kinesthetic haptics or force feedback about the affect the human body with force, vibration, or movement. Gamers are also accustomed to the force feedback wheel is already available in their game, chair, mouse and other parts of the playset a. But even with all its advantages, a study of human-robot interaction reports that haptics-based power is less effective in a realistic recreation VR experience.

• Conversely, haptics skin affect our skin with a slight vibration complex and touches the human mind is able to deceive the better to believe that it really touched something real.

et's see how kind of like feedback realized in a haptic glove rely 120 sensors to make someone feel foot spider or rain:

Despite the big gloves with cables can hardly be accommodated setting your home, we still see great progress in this area. In addition, the ability of haptic feedback with the results in the original sense may ramp up the impact of VR on a much larger audience and justify the high cost of the device. For the automotive industry, haptic feedback can really change the approach to the sales process, replacing the standard dealer center with a comprehensive VR showroom to make a test drive the vehicle at all times.

The bottom line is that the AR, VR and MR have the full potential to strengthen a number of other use cases and integrated into the vehicle ecosystem, production, sales process and generally, the entire automotive value chain. The more hardware improved, AR will root into all aspects of the automotive industry.
