Abstract
Many types of haptic interface for virtual reality have been proposed. These haptic interfaces mostly contain earth grounding linkages. In this study, we considered wearable haptic interfaces for improved flexibility. It was necessary to consider information regarding the human body and we focused on the role of muscle. First, we measured the activation pattern of muscle for actions by electromyogram. For an action, we designed a wearable suit to constrict the muscle for activation. An experiment was performed using the developed wearable haptic interface for simple pulling and lifting the weight action. We confirmed the force feedback effect of haptic interfaces. Here, we also propose a new mechanism to resolve the problems identified.
