Performance Benefits of High-Fidelity Passive Haptic Feedback in Virtual Reality Training

Explore a conference talk examining the impact of high-fidelity passive haptic feedback on virtual reality training performance. Delve into a study comparing the use of a tracked real golf club versus tracked controllers for a virtual golf putting task. Discover the researchers' hypotheses on accuracy improvements, user preferences, and correlations with real-world performance. Learn about the cross-over design study involving 20 participants and its key findings. Gain insights into the confirmed performance advantages and user preferences for the tracked golf club, as well as the challenges in correlating virtual and real-world putting skills. Understand the potential future research directions stemming from this study's results, presented at the ACM Symposium on Spatial User Interaction in Berlin.
