Transcalibur: weight moving VR controller for dynamic rendering of 2D shape using haptic shape illusion

We introduce a dynamic weight moving VR controller for 2d haptic shape rendering using a haptic shape illusion. This allows users to perceive the feeling of various shapes in virtual space with a single controller. We designed a device that drives weight on a 2d planar area to alter mass properties of the hand-held controller. Our user study showed that the system succeeded in providing shape perception over a wide range.
