Abstract

ImpAct is a haptic stylus which can change its length dynamically and measure its orientation changes in 3 degrees of freedom. Combining it with a 3D simulated projection rendering mechanism as shown in Figure 2, it can make the illusion of going through a display surface in to the digital space below(Figure 1). Furthermore, once user get into the digital space, more realistic interactions with digital objects are provided with kinesthetic haptic feedback by applying force-feedback on the scalable stem.
