The current generation of virtual and augmented realities (VR/AR) has substantially advanced in the past decade because of the rapid development of converging technologies in various engineering and scientific fields. However, the current VR/AR technologies rely mainly on visual and auditory senses to physically replicate the virtual environment, although tactile senses play a significant role in the daily life since a myriad of tactile information is received through physical touch. Of the tactile senses, thermal senses are of great importance to be reproduced in the VR/AR field, since heat is transferred constantly and further interact with the surrounding environment. To date, there has been a huge amount of research studies on functional materials, thermo-haptic devices, and wearable electronics that have all converged to form the fundamental groundwork for the development of wearable thermal VR/AR devices. In this progress report, a review on various physical mechanisms and research is provided that can potentially be applied in the next generation of thermal VR/AR technologies and discuss the essential challenges that need to be addressed.

用于可穿戴虚拟和增强现实的热触觉材料和设备

由于各种工程和科学领域的融合技术的快速发展，当前一代虚拟现实和增强现实 (VR/AR) 在过去十年中取得了长足的进步。然而，目前的 VR/AR 技术主要依靠视觉和听觉来物理复制虚拟环境，尽管触觉在日常生活中扮演着重要的角色，因为无数的触觉信息是通过物理触摸接收的。在触觉中，热感对于 VR/AR 领域的再现非常重要，因为热量不断传递并进一步与周围环境相互作用。迄今为止，已经有大量关于功能材料、热触觉设备、和可穿戴电子产品都融合在一起，形成了可穿戴热 VR/AR 设备开发的基础。在这份进展报告中，对各种物理机制和研究进行了回顾，这些机制和研究可能会应用于下一代热 VR/AR 技术，并讨论需要解决的基本挑战。
