Simulation device suitable for use in augmented-reality or virtual-reality environments

Abstract

The present invention relates to a simulation device suitable for use in augmented reality and/or virtual reality environments, which comprises: a rod (1); one or more markers (3) arranged on the rod (1); and a touch actuator (2) arranged on the rod (1). The device is characterized in that the actuator (2) comprises encoding means for encoding the movement of at least a finger of the hand of a user of said device, longitudinally along the rod (1). Said device is useful for simulating techniques of depositing and/or removing welding material, industrial paint and/or surgical and/or odontological procedures. The method for interacting with the augmented reality and/or virtual reality environment comprises a pincer movement using two fingers of the hand on the rod (1), moving the fingers longitudinally along same and activating, for that purpose, the actuator (2).
