Abstract
X-Rings is a novel hand-mounted 360 degree shape display for Virtual Reality that renders objects in 3D and responds to user-applied touch and grasping force. Designed as a modular stack of motor-driven expandable rings (5.7-7.7 cm diameter), X-Rings renders radially-symmetric surfaces graspable by the user's whole hand. The device is strapped to the palm, allowing the fingers to freely make and break contact with the device. Capacitive sensors and motor current sensing provide estimates of finger touch states and gripping force. We demonstrate our device's rendering and sensing capabilities in a demo application that enables users to grasp and interact with a variety of different virtual objects.
