Description: We propose to present virtual wind sensation by cross-modal effects. We developed VWind, a wearable headphone-type device to give vibrotactile and thermal stimuli in addition to visual scenarios and binaural sounds. We prepared the demonstrations as if users were blown to the ear or exposed to freezing winds.
