ABSTRACT

This paper suggests an immersive mobile racing game which allows a user to haptically and visually sense virtual environment. For constructing the immersive mobile racing game, we develop a mobile platform which expresses the reaction of a car on a road surface and simulates the road surface using tactile information. To simulate the road surface, we first design a tiny tactile module with an elastic spring, a permanent magnet, and a solenoid coil and insert it into the mobile platform. Eccentric vibration motors and an impact actuator are incorporated into the mobile platform to simulate the reaction of a car. A thermal feedback module is developed using thermal feedback unit composed of a heat conduction plate and a temperature sensor and is embedded into the developed mobile platform. An inertia measurement unit (an IMU) is inserted into the mobile platform so that the developed platform measures a user’s motion. The developed mobile platform is used as an interface for providing tactile feedback, vibration, and thermal feedback, all of which are important physical property of virtual environment, to a user. We investigate the temporal resolution of the proposed game system because it is considered as a key factor affecting haptic perception. The experimental result shows that proposed system has the possibility to provide immersive sensation to a user.
