We developed a bed-style haptic display “Haptic Bed” that
provides weight sensation to wide area of the user’s body.
This system comprises motors, belts, a cushion and a
comforter to press and swing the user lying on the bed.
Haptic Bed is a type of whole-body haptic interface,
characterized by the presentation of low-frequency force
with multiple degrees of freedom. The prototype system
with two motors can present a weight sensation to
approximately five regions of the abdomen. Although a
sensation is only presented to the abdomen in this study,
Haptic Bed can present a weight sensation to a wider area
by increasing the number of motors. The system has the
potential to enrich the audio visual experience in several
ways, such as by expressing the sensation of a horrific
ghost sitting on the user as part of entertainment content, or
by presenting the existence of a remote relative as a
telecommunication tool. Overall, the system changes a bed
into a new medium through which immersive contents are
presented in an immersive manner.
