Force feedback is said to be the next frontier in virtual reality (VR). Recently, with consumers
pushing forward with untethered VR, researchers turned away from solutions based on …

X-Rings is a novel hand-mounted 360° shape display for Virtual Reality that renders objects
in 3D and responds to user-applied touch and grasping force. Designed as a modular stack …

Many haptic feedback methods have been proposed to enhance realism in virtual reality
(VR). However, friction on the feet in VR, which renders feedback as if walking on different …

Haptic feedback can significantly enhance the realism and immersiveness of virtual reality
(VR) systems. In this paper, we propose MoveVR, a technique that enables realistic …

Most haptic actuators available on the market today can generate only a single modality of
stimuli. This ultimately limits the capacity of a kinaesthetic haptic controller to deliver more …

Haptic perception of physical sizes increases the realism and immersion in Virtual Reality
(VR). Prior work rendered sizes by exerting pressure on the user's fingertips or employing …

A robotic gadget that is equipped with a movable weight inside its body is developed. By
controlling the movement of the internal weight together with other robotic behaviors such as …

This work presents HapticSphere, a wearable spherical surface enabled by bridging a finger
and the head-mounted display (HMD) with a passive string. Users perceive a physical …

Recreating the feeling of touch is crucial for seamless interactions with objects in the virtual
world. Many haptic solutions exist in the forms of graspable, wearable, and touchable …

We present STROE, a new ungrounded string-based weight simulation device. STROE is
worn as an add-on to a shoe that in turn is connected to the user's hand via a controllable …
