InflatableBots: Inflatable Shape-Changing Mobile Robots for Large-Scale Encountered-Type Haptics in VR
CHI '24: Proceedings of the 2024 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsArticle No.: 423, Pages 1–14https://doi.org/10.1145/3613904.3642069We introduce InflatableBots, shape-changing inflatable robots for large-scale encountered-type haptics in VR. Unlike traditional inflatable shape displays, which are immobile and limited in interaction areas, our approach combines mobile robots with fan-...
