The Heads-Up Virtual Reality (HUVR) device couples a consumer-grade 3D HD flatpanel display with a half-mirror and force-feedback (haptics) device. HUVR allows the user to literally touch any object displayed within the workspace. The system uses a light-based system to track the user’s head-position and compute the correct perspective view and alignment with the force-feedback device.

Innovation:

• Multi-modal rendering (visual and tactile)
• Mobility

Access:

• The HUVR is part of the shared-use cyber-infrastructure that goes wherever our team goes and is serving as a catalyst for the development of new national and international collaborations. Collaborate with us to get access.

Location:

• The HUVR goes wherever it needs to be.
