Push-buttons provide rich haptic feedback during a press via mechanical structures. While different buttons have varying haptic qualities, few works have attempted to dynamically render such tactility, which limits designers from freely…
Haptic sensations that align with virtual reality (VR) experiences have a profound impact on presence and enjoyment. There is potential to explore the dynamic capabilities of pneumatic inflatables to offer immersive sensations in virtual…
Life-centred design decenters humans and considers all life and the far-reaching impacts of design decisions. However, little is known about the application of life-centred design tools in practice and their usefulness and limitations for…
Haptic feedback is important to make robots more dexterous and effective in unstructured environments. High-resolution haptic sensors are still not widely available, and their application is often bound by the resolution-robustness dilemma.…
The sense of touch, being the earliest sensory system to develop in a human body [1], plays a critical part of our daily interaction with the environment. In order to successfully complete a task, many manipulation interactions require…
Mobile user interfaces abundantly feature so-called 'dark patterns'. These deceptive design practices manipulate users' decision making to profit online service providers. While past research on dark patterns mainly focus on visual design,…
This work presents a novel interactive system for simple garment composition and surface patterning. Our approach makes it easier for casual users to customize machine-knitted garments, while enabling more advanced users to design their own…
This paper relates findings of own research in the domain of co-design tools in terms of ethical aspects and their opportunities for inspiration and in HCI education. We overview a number of selected general-purpose HCI/design tools as well…
The co creativity community is making significant progress in developing more sophisticated and tailored systems to support and enhance human creativity. Design considerations from prior work can serve as a valuable and efficient foundation…
This paper presents the development of a new software in order to manage objects, robots and mannequins in using the possibilities given by the haptic feedback of the Phantom desktop devices. The haptic device provides 6 positional degrees…
Advancements in surface haptics technology have given rise to the development of interactive applications displaying tactile content on touch surfaces such as images, signs, diagrams, plots, charts, graphs, maps, networks, and tables. In…
We present Adaptic, a novel "hybrid" active/passive haptic device that can change shape to act as a proxy for a range of virtual objects in VR. We use Adaptic with haptic retargeting to redirect the user's hand to provide haptic feedback…
During product conceptualization, capturing the non-linear history and cognitive intent is crucial. Traditional sketching tools often lose this context. We introduce DIMES (Design Idea Management and Evolution capture System), a web-based…
TactileWalk evaluates dynamic electrotactile patterns on fingertips for wearable navigation. We developed a fingertip stimulation prototype featuring a 10x6 electrode grid driven by an ESP32 microcontroller and high-voltage drivers to…
The quality of a simulator equipped with a haptic interface is given by the dynamical properties of its components: haptic interface, simulator and control system. Some application areas of such kind of simulator like musical synthesis,…
Developing artificial tactile sensing capabilities that rival human touch is a long-term goal in robotics and prosthetics. Gradually more elaborate biomimetic tactile sensors are being developed and applied to grasping and manipulation…
Care is primarily a collective phenomenon, with a practice that involves sharing health and wellbeing information within a trusted "care circle" of family members and companions for sensemaking, interpretation, decision-making, and…
Teletaction, the transmission of tactile feedback or touch, is a crucial aspect in the field of teleoperation. High-quality teletaction feedback allows users to remotely manipulate objects and increase the quality of the human-machine…
A continuous stroking sensation on the skin can convey messages or emotion cues. We seek to induce this sensation using a combination of illusory motion and lateral stroking via a haptic device. Our system provides discrete lateral…
Brain-computer interface allows people who have lost their motor skills to control robot limbs based on electroencephalography. Most BCIs are guided only by visual feedback and do not have somatosensory feedback, which is an important…
