Skill Transfer System that Visualizes and Presents Tactile Information in an AR Environment

TL;DR

This paper introduces a skill transfer system that visualizes tactile feedback in an augmented reality environment to enhance learning of spatial skills by providing force and tactile information as a color map aligned with the operator's hand.

Contribution

The novel system visualizes tactile information in AR, aiding skill transfer by combining tactile feedback with spatial visualization to improve learning efficiency.

Findings

Enhanced skill acquisition through tactile visualization

Effective AR-based feedback accelerates learning

Color mapping of tactile data improves spatial understanding

Abstract

In recent years, the lack of successors for traditional skills has become an issue. To solve this problem, we propose a skill transfer system that presents tactile information in spatial tasks as a color map on an AR space. We believe that providing the operator with feedback of the force and tactile information during the work is useful for learning skills that require time to master. Furthermore, by following the operator's hand and presenting tactile information, we expect to accelerate the learning of skills by not only presenting tactile information as a physical sensation, but also by making the operator associate tactile information with position.
