ABSTRACT
Wearable devices have a good role in haptics and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies. Weight perception during the VR interactions would give a more realistic immersive experience to the user and that would give psycho-motor skill training. User performance is another aspect that would add to the advantages of wearable haptic devices. Scaffolding work is a very complex assembling task in the construction industry and proper training is insufficient in this area. The technology-based training would be helpful for reducing accidents and improving the outcome. So VR-based solutions along with wearable haptics would be the best option for this. This paper described the design and prototype development of a wearable haptic device based on the systematic approach that can be used for scaffolding work. This paper also reported the user experiments conducted with the participants and presented their experiences. These studies revealed the details of the weight perception and comfort level of the participants when experiencing the device.
