| Popis: | With the advance of virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display, the appearance of the virtual companion can be more realistic and full of vitality, such as breathing and facial expression. However, the users cannot interact physically with the companions due to they do not have a physical body. In this work, our goal is to enable the virtual companion with multisensory feedback in the VR, which allows the users to play with the virtual companion physically in the immersive environment. We present Pumping Life, a dynamic flow system for enhancing the virtual companion with multisensory feedback, which utilizes water pumps and heater to provide shape deformation and thermal feedback. In this work, to show the interactive gameplay with our system, we deploy the system into a teddy bear and design a VR role-playing game. In this game, the player needs to collaborate with the teddy bear to complete the mission, which would perceive the vitality and expression of the teddy bear with multiple tactile sensations. |
