The use of the tactile modality is not common in Human Computer Interaction. However,
there may be good reasons to do so. For example in situations in which the visual sense is …

tactile display for handheld devices Page 1 TouchEngine: A Tactile Display for Handheld …

This paper surveys three classes of haptic interface devices that were developed at McGill
University since 1993. One class covers devices which output planar forces and explore …

Most computer systems use a mouse as the input device for menu selection, pointing, and
manipulation of screen objects. The user can get visual information from the screen only …

Haptics is concerned with information acquisition and object manipulation through touch.
Haptics is used as an umbrella term covering all aspects of manual exploration and …

This paper outlines a novel approach of displaying multifingered tactile feedback information
from remote and virtual environments. Miniature tactile fingertip modules are developed …

Extensive research has been conducted into the use of touch feedback in human-computer
interaction. This work has involved the development of input devices with force feedback …

Typically, the mechanical feedback that a user obtains during a gesture is simply the
mechanical weight and friction of the specific input device being employed. This is very …

Tactile feedback can enable more effective use of touch screens, particularly in automotive
applications where driver distraction is a problem. The number of technologies used to …

Although the integration of tactile feedback within the humancomputer interface could have
considerable benefits this channel of communication is often overlooked or, at most …
