Providing Haptics to Walls & Heavy Objects in Virtual Reality by Means of Electrical Muscle Stimulation
VR-walls
The figure above illustrates the naïve approach to rendering objects using EMS: (a) From the moment the user's fingertips reach the virtual wall, we actuate the user's hand just strongly enough to prevent it from passing through. We achieve this with a current essentially proportional to the user's force (further details in Implementation).

Virtual reality can already be a jaw-dropping experience, but research projects like this one are set to ensure that it continues to evolve in years to come. Virtual reality technology has made some major leaps forward over the past few years, but there are still some niggling issues that need to be addressed.

Our days are full of short moments spent waiting. With these new apps you can turn that spare time into knowledge. Even in an age of connectivity, our lives are full of relatively empty moments. We may be waiting for an elevator to arrive, for a text message to come through, or for our device to reconnect to Wi-Fi.
Submarines of the future could be piloted using virtual reality

Using VR to pilot submarines could allow for remote navigation, or simply give captains a way to better stay in control of their vessels using detailed sensor data.
