Abstract
Virtual reality apparatus includes a display generator to generate images of a virtual environment, including a virtual representation of a display object and at least part of an avatar, for display to a user; a haptic interface including one or more actuators to provide a physical interaction with the user in response to a haptic interaction signal; a detector arrangement configured to detect two or more haptic detections applicable to a current configuration of the avatar relative to the object in the virtual environment; and a haptic generator to generate the haptic interaction signal in dependence upon the two or more haptic detections.
