The networking of virtual reality applications will play an important role in the emerging
global Internet of Things (IoT) framework and it is expected to provide the foundation of the …

Tactile sensors are the last frontier to robots that can handle everyday objects and interact
with humans through contact. To be effective, such sensors have to sense the geometry of …

In this paper the author describes the term tactile semiotics-the meanings we ascribe to
different types of haptic sensations. When designing devices for haptic communication or …

This qualitative exploratory research paper presents a Manifesto for Digital Social Touch in
Crisis-a provocative call to action to designers, developers and researchers to rethink and …

A virtual touch screen concept using an optical see-through head-mounted display has been
suggested. With a virtual touch screen, the user's direct-touch interactions are allowed in …

Haptic technology for human augmentation provides gains in ability for different
applications, whether the aim is to enhance" disabilities" to" abilities", or" abilities" to" super …

The sense of touch (haptics) has been applied in several areas such as tele-haptics, tele-
medicine, training, education, and entertainment. As of today, haptics is used and explored …

Abstract The Tactile Internet of Things (TIoT) represents a special class of the Internet of
Things (IoT) that has opened the door for a new generation of agile, highly dynamic …

Simulators perform an important role in prototyping, debugging, and benchmarking new
advances in robotics and learning for control. Although many physics engines exist, some …

Capitalizing on the latest developments in 5G and ultra-low delay networking as well as
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics, we advocate here for the emergence of an entirely …
