It can create the illusion of holding and moving heavy objects as well as create the feeling of touching walls and turning knobs. The system is compact enough to fit in a backpack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;When the user grabs the virtual cube, the user expects the cube\u2019s weight to create tension in the user\u2019s biceps and the cube\u2019s stiffness to create a tension in the user\u2019s pectoralis. In order to create this sensation, the system actuates the respective opposition muscles. In order to put a load onto the user\u2019s biceps, it actuates the triceps and in order to put a load onto the user\u2019s pectoralis, it actuates the user\u2019s shoulder muscle. This creates the desired tension in biceps and pectoralis, thereby creating the desired experience.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Link to the study: <a href=\"https:\/\/hpi.de\/baudisch\/projects\/vr-walls.html\">https:\/\/hpi.de\/baudisch\/projects\/vr-walls.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source of GIF: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/OcSmCamMKfs\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/OcSmCamMKfs<\/a><\/p>\n\n      ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>        Because electrocuting users is secretly what all developers long to do.<br \/>\n       <a href=\"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/2017\/04\/21\/because-electrocuting-users-is-secretly-what-all-developers-long-to-do\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[93],"tags":[94],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22563"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/77"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22563"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22563\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22563"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22563"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22563"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
