Abstract
HaptoBend1 is an original device for providing general passive haptic feedback (PHF) in virtual reality (VR). The importance of haptic feedback in VR is apparent through improvements in presence [3] and user performance [2]. However, most general haptic systems rely on a large number of props [1], or large, complex actuated systems [5]. As a simple shape-changing device HaptoBend addresses this gap by allowing users to manipulate it from a single plane for 2D shapes, into multi-sided objects for 3D shapes. HaptoBend is simple, yet diverse by leveraging the dominance of human vision over other senses to provide realistic PHF with physical approximations [1, 5].
