Development of a Virtual Arm Wrestling System for Force Display Communication Analysis

摘要

The virtual arm wrestling system prototype we propose for force display communication analysis uses a 5-DOF force display system with 4 air cylinders and a force sensor we developed for virtual human affect display and interaction based on nonverbal human behavior and physiological measurement in arm wrestling. We evaluated the relationship between force display and a physiological index of peripheral finger skin temperature associated with circulation dynamics responding to forced action. We confirmed the system's effectiveness in analyzing force display communication.
