Masque: Exploring Lateral Skin Stretch Feedback on the Face with Head-Mounted Displays
summary
Masque integrates six shear tactors into an HTC Vive Pro face interface, each tactor using a 30 mm pad with 3 mm silicone and ~2.5 N contact force, to produce lateral skin stretch on the face. A comfort study finds an average acceptable stretch of 14.85 mm; discrimination requires a change of about 24.6% in stretch distance, while angle JND averages 22.69° (up to 42°). Three demo apps (racing, snowball, museum) increase realism for many users, though some find long stretches annoying.
