Immersive Haptic-Free Virtual Reality: Reach-to-Grasp Movements Coordination

This lecture explores the naturalistic coordination of reach-to-grasp movements in immersive haptic-free virtual reality. It delves into the kinematics of reach-to-grasp movements in different environments, focusing on the closure phase and the control law governing closure initiation. The study compares physical and virtual environments, highlighting the impact on transport velocity, aperture, and closure distance. Conclusions suggest that the initiation of closure is partially maintained in the virtual environment, with changes in the relationship between peak aperture and closure distance.
