When we touch something with a tool, we feel the touch at the tip of the tool rather than at the
hand. Yamamoto and Kitazawa [Yamamoto, S., Kitazawa, S., 2001b. Sensation at the tips of …

When we touch something with a tool, we feel the touch at the tip of the tool rather than at the
hand that holds the tool. We reported previously that judging the temporal order of two …

This study reexamined the perceptual equivalence of active and passive touch using a
computer-controlled force-feedback device. Nine subjects explored a 6× 10-cm workspace …

The authors report an experiment in which twenty-five participants discriminated force
vectors presented along five directions (up, left, right, diagonally up left, diagonally up right) …

Force feedback during teleoperation and in Virtual Reality (VR) environments is becoming
increasingly common. We are interested in understanding the impact of motion on the …

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 …

The sense of touch is one of the most powerful learning tools that humans have. Whenever
someone discovers something new, instinctively they want to hold it, poke at it, touch and …

We examined the contribution of tactile cues to accuracy during point-to-point movements.
We used a task in which the experimenter guided either the left or right hand of the subject to …

This study examined effects of hand movement on visual perception of 3-D movement. I
used an apparatus in which a cursor position in a simulated 3-D space and the position of a …

The extraction of spatial information by touch often involves exploratory movements, with
tactile and kinesthetic signals combined to construct a spatial haptic percept. However, the …
