N2 - In this demo, we demonstrate the use of the mobile Vibro Motors Wearable device, and we explain how it can be used to enhance Mixed Reality applications with tactile human-machine hand interactions. The presented device is capable of providing tactile feedback while interacting with virtual objects, e.g., when elements of a 3D user interface are touched. The device enables to run vibro motors mounted on a user's fingers while interacting with synthetic objects. In order to control the vibe of a particular vibro motor in a wireless manner, we have developed an HTTP-based API. The API can be used to develop mobile-tactile Mixed Reality applications to enhance user experience by giving an impression of fading in/out effects when interacting with 3D objects. To show the device's capabilities, a 3D demo application has been developed in which a user can experience tactile feedback effects while interacting with a virtual object.
