Haptic feedback has been integrated into Virtual and Augmented Reality, complementing acoustic and visual information and contributing to an all-round immersive experience in multiple fields, spanning from the medical domain to…
Nowadays, touch remains essential for emotional conveyance and interpersonal communication as more interactions are mediated remotely. While many studies have discussed the effectiveness of using haptics to communicate emotions,…
Haptic signals, from smartphone vibrations to virtual reality touch feedback, can effectively convey information and enhance realism, but designing signals that resonate meaningfully with users is challenging. To facilitate this, we…
The human language is one of the most natural interfaces for humans to interact with robots. This paper presents a robot system that retrieves everyday objects with unconstrained natural language descriptions. A core issue for the system is…
Haptic captioning is the task of generating natural language descriptions from haptic signals, such as vibrations, for use in virtual reality, accessibility, and rehabilitation applications. While previous multimodal research has focused…
Environmental sounds like footsteps, keyboard typing, or dog barking carry rich information and emotional context, making them valuable for designing haptics in user applications. Existing audio-to-vibration methods, however, rely on…
There is an increasing consensus among re- searchers that making a computer emotionally intelligent with the ability to decode human affective states would allow a more meaningful and natural way of human-computer interactions (HCIs). One…
Electrotactile feedback is a promising method for delivering haptic sensations, but challenges such as the naturalness of sensations hinder its adoption in commercial devices. In this study, we introduce a novel device that enables the…
Vibrotactile signals offer new possibilities for conveying sensations and emotions in various applications. Yet, designing vibrotactile tactile icons (i.e., Tactons) to evoke specific feelings often requires a trial-and-error process and…
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…
We present a customizable soft haptic system that integrates modular hardware with an information-theoretic algorithm to personalize feedback for different users and tasks. Our platform features modular, multi-degree-of-freedom pneumatic…
Emotion detection is a central problem in NLP, with recent progress driven by transformer-based models trained on established datasets. However, little is known about the linguistic regularities that characterize how emotions are expressed…
Haptic technology enhances interactive experiences by providing force and tactile feedback, improving user performance and immersion. However, despite advancements, creating tactile experiences still remains challenging due to device…
In a world where technology is increasingly embedded in our everyday experiences, systems that sense and respond to human emotions are elevating digital interaction. At the intersection of artificial intelligence and human-computer…
Haptic sensing can provide a new dimension to enhance people's musical and cinematic experiences. However, designing a haptic pattern is neither intuitive nor trivial. Imagined haptic patterns tend to be different from experienced ones. As…
Human emotion is expressed in many communication modalities and media formats and so their computational study is equally diversified into natural language processing, audio signal analysis, computer vision, etc. Similarly, the large…
The ability of an intelligent environment to connect and adapt to real internal sates, needs and behaviors' meaning of humans can be made possible by considering users' emotional states as contextual parameters. In this paper, we build on…
Emotion plays a significant role in our daily life. Recognition of emotion is wide-spread in the field of health care and human-computer interaction. Emotion is the result of the coordinated activities of cortical and subcortical neural…
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…
Affective interaction is not merely about recognizing emotions; it is an embodied, situated process shaped by context and co-created through interaction. In affective computing, the role of haptic feedback within dynamic emotional exchanges…
