Flyables: Haptic Input Devices for Virtual Reality using Quadcopters

on YouTube ↗08m

" summary

Toolkit mounts five 3D-printed UI elements (button, knob, joystick, slider, 3D mouse) on quadcopters to deliver on-demand haptic counterparts to virtual controls, and evaluates them against standard VR controllers with 12 participants. Controllers are faster and more precise in almost all tasks, with two questionnaire items ("possibility to act" and "self evaluation of performance") significantly favoring controllers, but Flyables score higher on haptics and quality of interface and produce more physical movement, especially in the car showroom scene where Flyables are faster.
