Stabilization for Haptic Interface Device in Networked Virtual Reality Environment

This paper investigates the stabilization of a haptic interface device in a networked maze system, focusing on objective assessment using different performance metrics, such as local lag and moving velocity.Participants interact with a virtual environment where they are tasked with raising and moving a cube from a starting position to a target point in our experiment.The raising and moving method is applied in an experimental setup to enhance the stabilization of the device.Additionally, this paper examines the impact of different damper values on the device's stability, particularly when subjected to different moving velocities.The damper values are adjusted to mitigate unstable phenomena that can arise during device operation.The experiment results indicate that both moving velocity and local lag strongly correlate with the force feedback of the haptic interface device.Thus, we illustrate that changes in the variables significantly influence force feedback behavior, which is crucial for maintaining the device's stability and performance.
