ABSTRACT
Current generation virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) head-mounted displays (HMDs) usually include no or only a single vibration motor for haptic feedback and do not use it for guidance. In a previous work, we presented HapticHead, a potentially mobile system utilizing vibration motors distributed in three concentric ellipses around the head to give intuitive haptic guidance hints and to increase immersion for VR and AR applications. The purpose of this paper is to explore potential application scenarios and aesthetic possibilities of the proposed concept in order to create an active discussion amongst workshop participants.
