RoomShift, a room-scale dynamic haptic environment for virtual reality, consists of nine shape-changing Roomba robots with mechanical scissor lifts that drive beneath and lift, move and placeÌýfurniture. By augmenting virtual scenes with physical objects, users can sit on, lean against, place and otherwise interact with furniture with their whole body, just as in the real world. When the virtual scene changes or users navigate within it, the swarm of robots dynamically reconfigures the physical environment to match the virtual content. RoomShift has applications in virtual tours, and architectural design and interaction techniques.
