## Abstract

In this paper, we present a low-cost virtual reality (VR) collaborative system equipped with a haptic feedback sensation system. This system is composed of a Kinect sensor for bodies and gestures detection, a microcontroller and vibrators to simulate outside interactions, and smartphone powered cardboard, all of this are put into a network implemented with Unity 3D game engine. CCS CONCEPTS $\bullet$ Interaction paradigms $\rightarrow$ Virtual reality; Collaborative interaction; $\bullet$ Hardware $\rightarrow$ Sensors and actuators; Wireless devices; KEYWORDS collaborative virtual reality, haptic feedback system.
