Abstract
Liquid mass transfer has emerged as a promising approach to induce weight perception in Virtual Reality (VR). This concept utilizes a tubing system to exchange a liquid between two or more units, to change their weight. As at least one of these units is attached to the user’s body or controller, different weight sensations can be achieved. In this position paper, we provide an overview of related ...

Liquid mass transfer has emerged as a promising approach to induce weight perception in Virtual Reality (VR). This concept utilizes a tubing system to exchange a liquid between two or more units, to change their weight. As at least one of these units is attached to the user’s body or controller, different weight sensations can be achieved. In this position paper, we provide an overview of related work in the area of liquid-based weight-changing devices, point at limitations of their approach and discuss future directions for their advancement.
