Abstract
Hanger reflex and electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) have been explored in previous haptic device research as novel methods for providing force sensations. This paper proposes a method that combines EMS and hanger reflex for haptic feedback on the wrist. Hanger reflex was used to elicit supination and pronation, and EMS was uses to cause flexion and extension. A virtual reality (VR) application was also implemented that gave users haptic feedback to their wrists. A user study was also conducted to investigate how the combined haptic feedback enhanced the VR experience in terms of enjoyment and realism. The results showed that the proposed haptic device allowed users a more realistic and enjoyable VR experience.
