INTERACTION WITH PHYSICAL OBJECTS AS PROXY OBJECTS REPRESENTING VIRTUAL OBJECTS

Systems and techniques for enabling interaction with physical objects as proxy objects representing virtual objects are provided herein. Virtual reality application data associated with a virtual reality application executed on a virtual reality device, a first virtual reality object data associated with a first virtual reality object from the virtual reality application, and virtual reality event data associated with one or more events from the virtual reality application may be received. Robotic arms including a robotic hand may grasp a first physical object which corresponds to the first virtual reality object of the virtual reality application. Sensors may detect a user interaction with the first physical object. Force feedback instructions commanding the robotic arms to move while maintaining grasp of the first physical object may be generated and executed based on detecting the user interaction with the first physical object and based on the virtual reality event data.
