Abstract

For encountered haptic display systems among the virtual training systems for industrial safety, visual-haptic co-location is required for natural interaction between virtual and real objects. In this paper, we performed the user evaluation of the immersive VR haptic system which implement some level of visual-haptic co-location through a careful and accurate calibration method. The goal of the evaluation is to show that user performance (reaction time and distance accuracy) for both environments is not significantly different for certain tasks performed. The user evaluation results show statistically significant differences in reaction time but the absolute difference is less than 1 second. In the meantime, the distance accuracy shows no difference between the virtual and the actual environments. Therefore, it can be concluded that the developed haptic virtual training system can provide inexpensive industrial safety training in place of costly actual environment.

산업안전을 위한 가상훈련시스템들 중 마중형 햅틱 제시 시스템에서는 가상 및 실제 물체 사이의 자연스러운 상호 작용을 위해 시각-촉각 일치가 필요하며 이를 위해 캘리브레이션이 수행된다. 본 논문에서는 어느 정도의 시각-촉각 일치를 구현한 몰입형 VR 햅틱 시스템의 사용자 평가를 수행하였다. 평가의 목표는 실제 및 가상환경에서 수행하는 일정한 과업들에 대해 두 환경에 대한 사용자 성능 (반응시간 및 거리 정확도)이 크게 다르지 않다는 것을 보이는 것이다. 사용자 평가 결과는 반응 시간에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 보이지만 절대 차이는 1초 미만이며 거리 정확도는 가상 환경과 실제 환경 간에 차이가 없는 것을 보여준다. 따라서 개발된 햅틱가상훈련시스템은 값비싼 실제 환경을 대신하여 저렴하게 산업안전 훈련을 할 수 있다고 사료된다.
