Prolonging VR Haptic Experiences by Harvesting Kinetic Energy from the User
DescriptionWe propose a new technical approach to implement untethered haptic devices that contain no battery. Our haptic device charges itself by harvesting the user’s kinetic energy (i.e., movement)—even without the user needing to realize this. We believe our approach enables haptics for prolonged uses of multisensory experiences.
