Virtual dolphins (tactile simulation suit)

The area of interest in this project is to investigate and model the body structure and motion or movement of pink dolphin and generate a virtual visualization, stimulation and interactive media to replace the real pink dolphin. By this replacement, it created many important and useful applications which benefited not only the medical industry but also for tourism and educational purpose. This project involved different aspect of interaction in the virtual environment which basically a combination of visual, audio and tactile feeling in order to create a three dimensional environment experiences. The stimulation of tactile feeling is integrated into human wearable suit that able to give a higher level of tactile sensation to the user. In another words, the stimulation of human wearable suit is an integration of mechanical actuators and electronic sensors which controlled by several microprocessors that have internal communication with one and another to achieve the design purpose. With the aid of motion feedback, the user is able to enjoy a good sense of feeling and imaginary in the virtual environment.Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering
