HaptoCloneAR (Haptic-Optical Clone with Augmented Reality) for Mutual Interactions with Midair 3D Floating Image and Superimposed 2D Display

摘要

In the previous study, a new interactive system called HaptoClone was proposed. In HaptoClone system, a user can interact with optically copied objects from the adjacent workspace with haptic feedback. In this study, we propose an improved version of the HaptoClone system called HaptoCloneAR, which superimposes a virtual 2D screen on the copied objects by using half-mirrors. The system can display 2 different images independently to each workspace. In this paper, we show a basic configuration of the HaptoCloneAR system. We demonstrate a feasibility of the proposed system with our prototype.
