Overview
- FlexiVol replaces traditional rigid diffusers with elastic strips, enabling safe, tactile interaction with 3D holograms for the first time.
- Users can manipulate virtual objects using natural gestures like pinching, swiping, and dragging, similar to touchscreen interactions.
- In early tests, participants found FlexiVol faster, more accurate, and more intuitive compared to conventional 3D mouse controls.
- The team plans to enhance the system by improving resolution, expanding display size, and integrating haptic feedback for tactile sensations.
- FlexiVol will be showcased at the CHI 2025 conference in Yokohama, Japan, highlighting its potential applications in education, museums, and interactive art.
