How haptic changes your XR experience
Interhaptics allows to design and develop complex 3D interactions and haptic feedback without coding knowledge. With Interhaptics, you’ll be able to build and create haptic sensations for 3D applications in extended reality (XR). To immerse ourselves directly into an AR/VR experience, we need to feel.
Our team created a demo (watch video) to showcase a large spectrum of VR / AR experiences. Using Interhaptics, we built a demo showcasing specific application of haptics in XR. The demo is highlighting how haptics enhances immersive content in different use cases. The Haptics demo is composed of 4 panels demonstrating how haptic feedback changes the experience in VR/AR.
On the first panel, haptics is used to enhance UI’s objects. We find here levers, drawers, sliders and wheels. Each case is presented with three haptics feedbacks to enhance different aspects of the interaction. Here haptics contributes to enhance immersion and refine the sensation of the user interacting with the 3D environment.
The second case shows how ordinary objects can be enhanced with Haptic feedbacks. Haptic creates an interesting and dynamic interaction without the need of animating the scene to change the object behavior. Each object has a specific feeling to enhance a sensation of movement, contact, to deliver information or emotions. The communication of these sensations is intimate and reflects how haptics can enhance the immersion and sensation of presence of the users. Try out how the right haptics enhance the feeling of a beating hearth, or enhances the sensation of a moving train. With Haptics Composer, every object can be haptically transformed and a new channel of communication added to your XR experience.
One of the easiest haptics sensations to imagine is to feel the texture of a virtual object. This case is represented on the Texture panel. Explore how haptics generate interesting and different experiences while interacting with static objects. A texture is added to each of the 6 panels. The haptic experience takes inspiration from the graphic texture added to the different squares.
The last case explores how tailored haptics sensations enhance immersive actions. Haptics here is used to enhance the feeling of a specific element of the scene. A haptics feedback mimicking the period of the wave on a boat increases the user immersion and, like sound, contributes to the experience of the user.
Creating all these cases is extremely easy and intuitive thanks to Haptics Composer. It is not required any coding knowledge to create compelling experiences. Haptics Composer allows to simply visualize each of these cases and quickly iterate your haptics experience for XR.
