Redirection Module

This module contains the implementation of all techniques included in this toolkit.

Categories of implemented illusions

The techniques implemented by this Toolkit fall into the following major categories:

• Hand Redirection, or Body Redirection. An offset is introduced between the position of a body part (usually the user's hand) and its virtual representation. Applications are repurposing physical props for multiple virtual objects and Pseudo-haptics.
  • Pseudo-haptic effects, which rely on visual techniques for altering haptic feedback, are included as a subcategory of Body Redirection since they also manipulate hand positions. The difference is the redirection is applied to modify or create a haptic/pseudo-haptic sensation such as stiffness or weight.
• World Redirection. The user's point of view in the virtual environment is manipulated, for example in a way that allows for unlimited virtual walking within a bounded physical arena.
• 3D Interpolation
