Simulating Object Weight in Virtual Reality: The Role of Absolute Mass and Weight Distributions
Article No.: 23, Pages 1 - 11
Abstract
Weight interfaces enable users of Virtual Reality (VR) to perceive the weight of virtual objects, significantly enhancing realism and enjoyment. While research on these systems primarily focused on their implementation, little attention has been given to determining the weight to be rendered by them: As the perceived weight of objects is influenced not only by their absolute mass, but also by their weight distribution and prior expectations, it is currently unknown which simulated mass provides the most realistic representation of a given object. We conducted a study, in which 30 participants chose the best fitting weight for a virtual object in 54 experimental trials. Across these trials, we systematically varied the virtual objects’ visual mass (three levels), their weight distribution (six levels), and the position of the physical mass on the grip (three levels). Our Bayesian analysis suggests that the visual weight distribution of objects does not affect which absolute physical mass best represents them, whereas the position of the provided physical mass does. Additionally, participants overweighted virtual objects with lower visual mass while underweighting objects with higher visual mass. We discuss how these findings can be leveraged by designers of weight interfaces and VR experiences to optimize realism.

MobileGravity: Mobile Simulation of a High Range of Weight in Virtual Reality
CHI '24: Proceedings of the 2024 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsSimulating accurate weight forces in Virtual Reality (VR) is an unsolved challenge. Therefore, providing real weight sensations by transferring liquid mass has emerged as a promising approach. However, key objectives conceptually interfere with each ...
Experiencing Dynamic Weight Changes in Virtual Reality Through Pseudo-Haptics and Vibrotactile Feedback
CHI '24: Proceedings of the 2024 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsVirtual reality (VR) objects react dynamically to users’ touch interactions in real-time. However, experiencing changes in weight through the haptic sense remains challenging with consumer VR controllers due to their limited vibrotactile feedback. While ...
PumpVR: Rendering the Weight of Objects and Avatars through Liquid Mass Transfer in Virtual Reality
CHI '23: Proceedings of the 2023 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsPerceiving objects’ and avatars’ weight in Virtual Reality (VR) is important to understand their properties and naturally interact with them. However, commercial VR controllers cannot render weight. Controllers presented by previous work are single-...
