Abstract :
An untethered VR system with force feedback based on the use of air pressure gives the user the feeling of touching an object. The result is an untethered human interface that´s easy to use in everyday life. The system uses a projection-based stereo display and optical position tracking. The user employs red and blue 3D glasses and a lightweight paddle. This article is available with a short video documentary on CD-ROM.
