Title
Increasing the Effective Egocentric Field of View with Proprioceptive and Tactile Feedback
Abstract
Multimodality often exhibits synergistic effects: eachmodality compliments and compensates for othermodalities in transferring coherent, unambiguous, andenriched information for higher interaction efficiency andimproved sense of presence. In this paper, we exploreone such phenomenon: a positive interaction among thegeometric field of view, proprioceptive interaction, andtactile feedback. We hypothesize that, with proprioceptiveinteraction and tactile feedback, the geometric field ofview and thus visibility can be increased such that it islarger than the physical field of view, without causing asignificant distortion in the user's distance perception.This, in turn, would further help operation of the overallmultimodal interaction scheme as the user is more likelyto receive the multimodal feedback simultaneously. Wetested our hypothesis with an experiment to measure theuser's change in distance perception according todifferent values of egocentric geometric field of view andfeedback conditions. Our experimental results haveshown that, when coupled with physical interaction, theGFOV could be increased by up to 170 percent of thephysical field of view without introducing significantdistortion in distance perception. Second, when tactilefeedback was introduced, in addition to visual andproprioceptive cues, the GFOV could be increased by upto 200 percent. The results offer a useful guideline foreffectively utilizing of modality compensation andbuilding multimodal interfaces for close range spatialtasks in virtual environments. In addition, it demonstratesone way to overcome the shortcomings of the narrow(physical) fields of views of most contemporary HMDs.
