介绍了一种阻抗类型的踝关节触觉接口，用于在虚拟现实(VR)中为用户提供沉浸式导航体验。脚踝平台由带有反馈控制的电动马达驱动，可以使用敲脚手势来创造出像真实一样的步行体验，并以触觉方式渲染不同类型的步行地形。实验研究表明，该界面可以方便地生成虚拟漫游，并能够渲染硬面和软面等地形以及多层复杂的动态地形。所设计的系统是一个座位式VR移动界面，因此允许用户保持稳定的坐姿，轻松地在虚拟场景中导航。
This article presents an impedance type ankle haptic interface for providing users with an immersive navigation experience in virtual reality (VR). The ankle platform, actuated by an electric motor with feedback control, enables the use of foot-tapping gestures to create a walking experience like a real one and to haptically render different types of walking terrains. Experimental studies demonstrated that the interface can be easily used to generate virtual walking and is capable of rendering terrains, such as hard and soft surfaces, and multi-layer complex dynamic terrains. The designed system is a seated-type VR locomotion interface, therefore allowing its user to maintain a stable seated posture to comfortably navigate a virtual scene.
