A system to provide a human-machine interface to enable a user in a real space to act/sense in a virtual space. The system includes: a ring wearable by a finger of the user; a plurality of sensors, and a plurality of feedback units. The plurality of sensors being multimodal, including: a tactile sensor disposed on an inner surface of the ring; and a temperature sensor disposed on an outer surface of the ring. The plurality of feedback units being multimodal, including: a vibrator disposed on the ring, the vibrator being disposed on the outer surface of the ring; and a heater disposed on the inner surface of the ring. The system includes a controller configured to drive the plurality of sensors and the plurality of feedback devices to enable concurrent multimodal sensing and multimodal feedback.
A system to provide a human-machine interface to enable a user in a real space to act/sense in a virtual space, the system comprising:
A system to provide a human-machine interface to enable a user in a real space to act/sense in a virtual space, the system comprising:
A method executable by a controller, according to instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, to perform a method of human-machine interface to enable a user in a real space to act/sense in a virtual space, the method comprising:
The method of claim 14, wherein the output signal corresponds to a continuous series of bending actions of a body part of the user, and wherein the method of claim 16, wherein the input signal is generated by a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) sensor.
