Abstract

This study is about the VR controller that can provide an enhanced experience in VR by augmenting the sense of weight. In this study, the method of changing the center of gravity of the controller was used as a means of transmitting the sense of weight. The experiment was carried out with a device that could change the center of gravity to find the minimum distance at which people can perceive the difference in weight. The results showed that the weight difference between the two stimuli can be perceived at a distance of about 5 cm regardless of the position of the starting stimulus.

본 연구는 가상 물체의 무게감을 사용자에게 전달하여 몰입감 있는 가상현실 경험을 제공하는 컨트롤러에 관한 것이다. 무게감 전달의 수단으로 컨트롤러 내 무게 중심의 위치를 변화시키면 모멘트의 크기가 변화하는 개념을 활용하였다. 사용자가 무게차를 인지하는 무게 중심의 최소이동거리를 알아보기 위해 무게 중심의 위치를 변경할 수 있는 실험 장치를 제작하여 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 시작 자극의 위치와 무관하게 약 5cm의 무게부 거리 차에서 두 물체 간의 무게 차이를 인지하는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 이러한 실험 결과를 반영하여 모멘트 변화에 따른 무게 인지의 최소이동거리 역치 값을 찾는 실험을 수행할 것이다.
