Optical see-through augmented reality (OST-AR) overlays digital targets and annotations on the physical world, offering promising guidance for hands-on tasks such as medical needle insertion or assembly. Recent work on OST-AR depth…
Pseudo-haptics exploit carefully crafted visual or auditory cues to trick the brain into "feeling" forces that are never physically applied, offering a low-cost alternative to traditional haptic hardware. Here, we present a comparative…
Nowadays, robots are found in a growing number of areas where they collaborate closely with humans. Enabled by lightweight materials and safety sensors, these cobots are gaining increasing popularity in domestic care, supporting people with…
Mid-air haptic interfaces employ focused ultrasound waves to generate touchless haptic sensations on the skin. Prior studies have demonstrated the potential positive impact of mid-air haptic feedback on virtual experiences, enhancing…
Hand-tracking enables controller-free XR interaction but does not have the tactile feedback controllers provide. Rather than treating this solely as a missing-sensation problem, we explore whether pseudo-haptic cues on an embodied virtual…
Sensory substitution has influenced the design of many tactile visual substitution systems with the aim of offering visual aids for the blind. This paper focuses on whether a novel electromagnetic vibrotactile display, a four by four…
Walking is among the most common human activities where the feet can gather rich tactile information from the ground. The dynamic contact between the feet and the ground generates vibration signals that can be sensed by the foot skin. While…
The face remains relatively unexplored as a target region for haptic feedback, despite providing a considerable surface area consisting of highly sensitive skin. There are promising applications for facial haptic feedback, especially in…
Haptic feedback provides an essential sensory stimulus crucial for interaction and analyzing three-dimensional spatio-temporal phenomena on surface visualizations. Given its ability to provide enhanced spatial perception and scene…
Auditory, haptic, and visual stimuli provide alerts, notifications, and information for a wide variety of applications ranging from virtual reality to wearable and hand-held devices. Response times to these stimuli have been used to assess…
Most research on 3D user interfaces aims at providing only a single sensory modality. One challenge is to integrate several sensory modalities into a seamless system while preserving each modality's immersion and performance factors. This…
Telerobotics has shown promise in helping workers safely manipulate building components on construction sites; however, its primary reliance on visual feedback limits efficiency in situations with stiff contact or poor visibility. Reliable…
Recent advances in haptic hardware and software technology have generated interest in novel, multimodal interfaces based on the sense of touch. Such interfaces have the potential to revolutionize the way we think about human computer…
Unlike traditional robotic hands, underactuated compliant hands are challenging to model due to inherent uncertainties. Consequently, pose estimation of a grasped object is usually performed based on visual perception. However, visual…
Developing kinesthetic haptic devices with advanced haptic rendering capabilities is challenging due to the limitations on driving mechanisms. In this study, we introduce a novel soft electrohydraulic actuator and develop a kinesthetic…
With the rise of wearables, haptic interfaces are increasingly favored to communicate information in an ambient manner. Despite this expectation, existing guidelines are developed in studies where the participant's focus is entirely on the…
As digital worlds become ubiquitous via video games, simulations, virtual and augmented reality, people with disabilities who cannot access those worlds are becoming increasingly disenfranchised. More often than not the design of these…
Current Virtual Reality (VR) environments lack the rich haptic signals that humans experience during real-life interactions, such as the sensation of texture during lateral movement on a surface. Adding realistic haptic textures to VR…
Access to non-verbal cues in social interactions is vital for people with visual impairment. It has been shown that non-verbal cues such as eye contact, number of people, their names and positions are helpful for individuals who are blind.…
The booming haptic data significantly improves the users'immersion during multimedia interaction. As a result, the study of Haptic,Audio-Visual Environment(HAVE)has attracted attentions of multimedia community. To realize such a system, a…
