REAL-WORLD HAPTIC INTERACTIONS FOR A VIRTUAL REALITY USER

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable mediums for presenting haptic interactions using a virtual reality system are provided. A virtual user is tracked in a virtual reality environment, the virtual user including a virtual representation of a real-world user in a real-world environment. A relative virtual location for the virtual object relative to the virtual user is determined. A haptic profile for the virtual object is identified. A real-world object is provided in a real-world location relative to the real-world user that corresponds to the relative virtual location, where a haptic property of the real-world object corresponds to the haptic profile for the virtual object
