材料的许多特征可以通过触觉线索，甚至用脚来体验。例如，人们无需看地面就可以轻松区分苔藓和石头。然而，这种类型的材质体验在 AR 和 VR 应用中基本上不支持。我们推出了 bARefoot，这是一款原型鞋，可提供与运动动作紧密结合的触觉冲动。这使得能够生成虚拟材料体验，例如柔顺性、弹性或摩擦力。为了探索这种感觉运动耦合振动的参数空间，我们提出了一种能够快速设计虚拟材料的设计工具。我们报告了初步探索，以加深对如何优化参数以产生合规性的理解，并检查动态参数对材料体验的影响。最后，我们提出了一系列用例，展示了 bARefoot 在 VR 和 AR 方面的潜力。
Many features of materials can be experienced through tactile cues, even using one's feet. For example, one can easily distinguish between moss and stone without looking at the ground. However, this type of material experience is largely not supported in AR and VR applications. We present bARefoot, a prototype shoe providing tactile impulses tightly coupled to motor actions. This enables generating virtual material experiences such as compliance, elasticity, or friction. To explore the parameter space of such sensorimotor coupled vibrations, we present a design tool enabling rapid design of virtual materials. We report initial explorations to increase understanding of how parameters can be optimized for generating compliance, and to examine the effect of dynamic parameters on material experiences. Finally, we present a series of use cases that demonstrate the potential of bARefoot for VR and AR.
