HapSeat: A Novel Approach to Simulate Motion in a Consumer Environment

International audienceThe HapSeat is a novel approach for simulating motion sensations in a consumer environment. Multiple force-feedbacks are applied to the seated user's body to generate a 6DoF sensation of motion while experiencing passive navigation. A set of force-feedback devices such as mobile armrests or headrests are arranged around a seat so that they can apply forces to the user. Several video sequences have been created to highlight the capabilities of the HapSeat. We propose to CHI attendees to experience these videos enhanced by haptic effects of motion
