Personal Sensory VR interface Utilizing Wearable Technology

Current wearable technology centered on medical and healthcare fields has grown, and various types of controllers are being developed along with the development of virtual reality interfaces. Nevertheless, commercialized controllers cannot yet deliver a variety of sensory information to users in virtual reality (VR) environments as they are still providing haptic vibration level information. To convey a high sense of immersion through the presence of users in the virtual environment, a personal sensory VR system focusing on the user's touch is proposed in this study. Emogle is a personal haptic VR interface that is worn on the user's hand and was developed to deliver various types of sensory information through vibration, thermal emotion, wind, and electrical stimulation in a VR environment.
