Popis: In virtual reality (VR), a factor that can maximize user immersion is the development of an intuitive and sensory interaction method. Physical devices such as controllers or data gloves of existing VR devices are used to control the movement intentions of the user, but their shortfall is that grip strength and detailed muscle strength cannot be reflected. Therefore, this study intended to establish a more sensory VR environment compared to existing methods by reflecting the grip strength of the flexor digitorum profundus of the user of the VR content. In this experiment, the muscle activity of the flexor digitorum profundus was obtained from six subjects based on surface electromyography, and four objects with differing intensity were created within a VR program in which the objects were made to be destroyed depending on muscle activity. As a result, satisfaction was improved because the users could sensitively interact with the objects inside the VR environment, and the intended motion control of the user was reflected in the VR content.
