Despite non-co-location, haptic stimulation at the wrist can potentially provide feedback regarding interactions at the fingertips without encumbering the user's hand. Here we investigate how two types of skin deformation at the wrist…
We propose a haptic system for virtual manipulation to provide feedback on the user's forearm instead of the fingertips. In addition to visual rendering of the manipulation with virtual fingertips, we employ a device to deliver normal or…
Previous work has shown that the addition of haptic feedback to the hands can improve awareness of tool-tissue interactions and enhance performance of teleoperated tasks in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery. However, hand-based…
Relocation of haptic feedback from the fingertips to the wrist has been considered as a way to enable haptic interaction with mixed reality virtual environments while leaving the fingers free for other tasks. We present a pair of wrist-worn…
Haptic feedback increases the realism of virtual environments. This paper proposes a wearable haptic device that renders torque feedback to the user's wrist from any angle. The device comprises a control part and a handle part. The control…
We propose a haptic system that applies forces or skin deformation to the user's arm, rather than at the fingertips, for believable interaction with virtual objects as an alternative to complex thimble devices. Such a haptic system would be…
With the rising interest in Virtual Reality and the fast development and improvement of available devices, new features of interactions are becoming available. One of them that is becoming very popular is hand tracking, as the idea to…
Digital communication tools are limited to visual and auditory information and lack non-verbal information such as touch, which is important for communicating intentions and emotions. In order to solve this problem, the use of haptic…
Robotic telemanipulation - the human-guided manipulation of remote objects - plays a pivotal role in several applications, from healthcare to operations in harsh environments. While visual feedback from cameras can provide valuable…
This paper presents the design, characterization and validation of a wearable haptic device able to convey skin stretch, force feedback, and a combination of both, to the user's arm. In this work, we carried out physical and perceptual…
The growing trend of using wearable devices for context-aware computing and pervasive sensing systems has raised its potentials for quick and reliable authentication techniques. Since personal writing habitats differ from each other, it is…
Hand gesture recognition attracts great attention for interaction since it is intuitive and natural to perform. In this paper, we explore a novel method for interaction by using bone-conducted sound generated by finger movements while…
Humans can leverage physical interaction to teach robot arms. As the human kinesthetically guides the robot through demonstrations, the robot learns the desired task. While prior works focus on how the robot learns, it is equally important…
This study presents a lightweight, wearable fingertip haptic device that provides physics-based haptic feedback for dexterous manipulation in virtual environments without hindering real-world interactions. The device's design utilizes thin…
The CyberGrasp is a well known dataglove-exoskeleton device combination that allows to render haptic feedback to the human fingers. Its design, however, restricts its usability for teleoperation through a limited control bandwidth and…
Complex robotic tasks require human collaboration to benefit from their high dexterity. Frequent human-robot interaction is mentally demanding and time-consuming. Intuitive and easy-to-use robot control interfaces reduce the negative…
Wearable haptic interventions offer promising support for relaxation through slow, vibrotactile biofeedback. Despite their potential, current applications focus on stress-inducing procedures and fixed vibration patterns, with limited…
In this paper, a new behavioral biometric password based on haptic interaction is described. This "haptic password" system is built on a device that has a force-sensitive screen. The user authentication process leverages maximal overlap…
We investigate how vibrotactile wrist feedback can enhance spatial guidance for handheld tool movement in optical see-through augmented reality (AR). While AR overlays are widely used to support surgical tasks, visual occlusion, lighting…
Virtual co-embodiment enables two users to share a single avatar in Virtual Reality (VR). During such experiences, the illusion of shared motion control can break during joint-action activities, highlighting the need for position-aware…
