Utilizing Handheld Wind Feedback to Expand the Perception of Environmental Wind From Stationary Device

摘要

In this paper, we present a hybrid-haptic feedback system with a stationary fan and wireless controller with a fan. To explore the possibility of using our system to expand the users’ perception of environmental wind, we investigate the users’ perception of the wind blowing area combined with different distances and handheld wind speeds. The results show that compared with using the stationary fan only, the perceptional winds area is increased by at least 59.9% when using our hybrid-haptic device.
