最近，已经开发出许多在大尺寸屏幕上投影虚拟环境的沉浸式显示器。在虚拟现实技术在这种大型沉浸式环境中的应用中，开发一些触觉显示器非常重要，它可以从虚拟环境中向用户提供真实的反馈感觉，例如力或触觉。特别是，有必要为可穿戴触觉显示器开发小、轻、安全的执行器。本文提出并开发了一种利用气动技术的沉浸式虚拟环境触觉显示系统。该系统由触觉显示器和力反射型可穿戴触觉显示器组成，使用气动压力控制。在虚拟环境中抓取虚拟物体的实验是通过使用气动执行器的可穿戴触觉显示器进行的。实验验证了触觉显示系统的性能对于触摸和抓取虚拟物体是有效的。
Recently a number of immersive displays that project virtual environment on large-sized screens have been developed. In applications of virtual reality technology for such large immersiveenvironments, it is important to develop some haptic display that gives a real feedback sensation such as forceor tactile to users from the virtual environment. Especially, it is necessary to develop small, light and safety actuators for the wearable haptic display. In this paper, the haptic display system using pneumatics for theimmersive virtual environment is proposed and developed. The system consists of a tactile and a force reflecting type wearable haptic displays using pneumatic pressure control. Experiments for grasping virtual objects in the virtual environment are performed by the wearable haptic displays using pneumatic actuators. It is experimentally verified that the performance of the haptic display system is effective to touch and grasp the virtual objects.
