摘要
In the realm of virtual reality(VR),haptic feedback is integral to enhance the immersive experience;yet,existing wearable devices predominantly rely on skin contact feedback,lacking options for compact and non-contact breeze-sense feedback.Herein,we propose a compact and non-contact working model piezoelectret actuator for providing a gentle and safe breeze sensation.This easy-fabricated and flexible breeze-sense generator with thickness around 1 mm generates air flow pressure up to~163 Pa,which is significantly sensed by human skin.In a typical demonstration,the breeze-sense generators array showcases its versatility by employing multiple coded modes for non-contact information transmitting.The thin thinness and good flexibility facilitate seamless integration with wearable VR setups,and the wearable arrays empower volunteers to precisely perceive the continuous and sudden breeze senses in the virtual environments.This work is expected to inspire developing new haptic feedback devices that play pivotal roles in human-machine interfaces for VR applications.
