Abstract:
Goldfish scooping is one of Japanese traditional amusement in summer festival. In general, people scoop goldfishes in a shallow water tank using a fragile water-thin dipper. We have developed virtual goldfish scooping system to evaluate the difference between real goldfish scooping and virtual goldfish scooping. The sense of touch and real time display are very important to realize virtual goldfish scooping system. A special hapitc device is used to get the sense of touch. In addition, we use a stereoscopic display to represent three dimensional objects such as goldfishes. We experiment on a subjective judgment for 13 subjects to verify the effectiveness of this system.
