Abstract

Two large problems faced by virtual environment designers are lack of haptic feedback and constraints imposed by limited tracker space. Passive haptic feedback has been used effectively to provide a sense of touch to users (Insko, et al., 2001). Redirected walking is a promising solution to the problem of limited tracker space (Razzaque, et al., 2001). However, these solutions to these two problems are typically mutually exclusive because their requirements conflict with one another. We introduce a method by which they can be combined to address both problems simultaneously.
