Gegenstand der Arbeit ist die Konzeptbildung, Realisierung und Erprobung eines
neuartigen Eingabefeldes für technische Geräte. Im Vordergrund steht dabei die haptische …

Touch surfaces with no surface deformations delineating the individual function fields open
up new design possibilities in the car interior. However, a haptic feedback signal similar to a …

The integration of artificial haptics on flat surfaces is a usability requirement resulting from
modern control devices based on capacitive touchscreens. In automotive applications …

This paper addresses the ongoing developments of a haptic (in fact multi-modal) framework
called ITouch, which serve two purposes. The first purpose is academic and concerns the …

The papers in this special section examine the technology of wearable and hand-held haptic
devices. These papers reflect several key directions in current research in this area …

Technological developments are expanding the interaction possibilities for the haptic
domain, allowing designers to program dynamic haptic feedback. While haptic sensations …

Telerobotic systems enable humans to explore and manipulate remote environments for
applications such as surgery and disaster response, but few such systems provide the …

This paper describes the development of a planar distributed tactile display, and tests its
effectiveness for displaying textures. The tactile display is composed of a 6/spl times/5 pin …

Wearability will significantly increase the use of haptics in everyday life, as has already
happened for audio and video technologies. The literature on wearable haptics is mainly …

Precise manual work is frequently required in remote and virtual environments. Cutaneous
feedback to the whole hand is a key element in achieving this goal; however, most haptic I/O …
