Motion based interaction systems has led to a native user interface which can reduce the learning curve of a user to adapt usage of an application. For example, a user can enlarge or reduce the size of a virtual object by scrolling with two fingers and can move an object by dragging with finger pads or arms. Although, native user interaction allows a user to intuitive and immersively interact with a virtual object, it is not easy to increase the level of the immersion to the level which users are truly “immersive”. Haptic information can be a solution for increasing the level of the immersion. This paper presents a portable haptic interaction system, which allows a user to manipulate virtual objects with his/her touch information, consisting of a tiny haptic module and a IR camera with an IMU(Inertial Measurement Unit). The tiny haptic module is developed based on crank-shaft structure in order to maximize the haptic sense in small size. An IR camera and an Inertial measurement unit are inserted into the portable haptic interaction system so that the developed haptic module can measure a user’s motion. Our system can be used for virtual reality applications and can provide the opportunities users to access a lot of informations.
