"It allowed us to convey the material properties of selected surfaces to clients, increasing the realism of the space"

"TouchDIVER significantly enhanced the experience by adding a physical dimension to the virtual environment. Users could feel textures, resistance, and other sensations, which made the virtual environment feel more real and engaging. This helped us achieve our goal of creating a truly immersive and interactive demo.”

Feeling virtual material properties

In interior design, multimodal haptic feedback offers significant advantages for space design and client experience. Designers can convey the material qualities of selected surfaces to clients, allowing them to feel the texture and firmness of walls, furniture, or flooring, better grasping the realism of the space. Additionally, using haptic technology, it is possible to simulate how various elements of a space come together, how different materials interact, and how the overall design looks like. This helps clients make more informed design decisions and better predict the final outcome of the space. Haptic integration plays a crucial role in providing more effective and immersive solutions in interior design projects, enhancing customer satisfaction and project success.
