Abstract
In recent years, a two-dimensional communication (2DC) technology has been proposed which performs communication and power supply with a large number of functional sensor/actuator units attached on cloth without individual connection. It is easy to make wearable system by using the 2DC cloth. Many vibrators can be attached at any place on the sheet to realize whole body tactile displaying wear. Various tactile expressions can be achieved on the whole body such as being stroked, pressed, grabbed, and so on. In this research, we propose a VR system which enables a user to be touched his/her body synchronized with VR images by using the whole body haptic wear. Users can experience various tactile sensations to their whole body through easily wearable garment device.
