Abstract
Virtual Reality (VR) is a multifaceted area with great potential from pure
entertainment to scienti c research. Due to technological limitations, VR
for the last thirty years has not really caught on since users were always
left feeling dizzy and uncomfortable after a few minutes of using it. With
the emergence of computationally precise devices like the Oculus Rift and
the Leap Motion, there has been a resurgence of interest in VR and human
computer interaction, a subset of VR that is within the haptic and tactile
realm.
This thesis provides a description of a system that provides haptic feedback
when touching a virtual object, and also demonstrates the e cacy through
an experiment. The thesis should hopefully provide the groundwork that
would allow those in di erent elds to be able to add a virtual and immersive
environment onto their own projects and visions, from virtual entertainment
to a diagnosis in interdisciplinary neuroscience.
