Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to VR devices, and more particularly to a rotating VR device for multi-modal somatosensory simulation. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, virtual reality (VR) technology has made remarkable progress in the fields of hardware display, interaction algorithms, and content production. Existing mainstream VR devices mainly construct immersive visual and auditory experiences through high-resolution displays, head tracking systems, and stereo earphones. However, there are still significant technical bottlenecks in the integrity of environmental simulation and multi-sensory collaborative feedback.

[0003] Specifically, traditional VR devices only integrate visual and auditory channels, fail to establish a neural coupling mechanism with touch, temperature sensation, and smell, and cannot simulate temperature changes (such as hot wind, cold wind), gas media (such as fog, water mist), and the release of odor molecules, resulting in a lack of more realistic immersive body sensations for viewers in scenes such as snow fields, jungles, flower beds, and waterfalls. Summary of the Invention
