It is known that tactile stimulation adds realism to a virtual environment. In addition, when users are not limited by wearing any attachments (e.g., gloves), it is even possible to create more immersive experiences. Mid-air haptic technology provides contactless haptic feedback and offers the potential for creating such immersive VR experiences. However, one of the limitations of mid-air haptics resides in the need for freehand tracking systems (e.g., Leap Motion) to deliver tactile feedback to the user's hand. These tracking systems are not accurate, limiting designers capability of delivering spatially precise tactile stimulation. Here, we investigated an alternative way to convey incongruent visual-tactile stimulation that can be used to create the illusion of a congruent visual-tactile experience, while participants experience the phenomenon of the rubber hand illusion in VR. date: 2019-05-02 date_type: published publisher: ACM official_url: https://doi.org/10.1145/3290605.3300362 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1801534 doi: 10.1145/3290605.3300362 isbn_13: 9781450359702 lyricists_name: Obrist, Marianna lyricists_id: MOBRI99 actors_name: Obrist, Marianna actors_id: MOBRI99 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems - Proceedings place_of_pub: Glasgow Scotland Uk pagerange: 1-15 event_title: CHI '19: CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems book_title: CHI '19: Proceedings of the 2019 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems citation: Pittera, D; Gatti, E; Obrist, M; (2019) I'm sensing in the rain: Spatial incongruity in visual-tactile mid-air stimulation can elicit ownership in VR users.
