ElastiLinks: Force Feedback between VR Controllers with Dynamic Points of Application of Force
summary
A pair of handheld devices called ElastiLinks controllers physically link two VR controllers with rotatable tracks and movable connectors that act as dynamic points of application of force (PAFs), producing resistive and impact feedback via two separate links. Three user studies show 3 distinguishable force levels for both resistive and impact feedback, PAF rotation is perceptible but not torque direction, three offset steps are distinguishable, and across three games ElastiLinks outperform Vive vibration and fixed-PAF links in realism and enjoyment.
