In this article, we review the current technology underlying surface haptics that converts
passive touch surfaces to active ones (machine haptics), our perception of tactile stimuli …

Many aspects of both grip function and tactile perception depend on complex frictional
interactions occurring in the contact zone of the finger pad, which is the subject of the current …

When we touch an object or explore a texture, frictional strains are induced by the tactile
interactions with the surface of the object. Little is known about how these interactions are …

The topic of this paper concerns the relation between friction perception and finger friction
behaviour. Two experiments were processed for some 20 individuals. The aim of the first …

With the ubiquity of touch screens and the commercialization of electroadhesion‐based
surface haptic devices, modeling tools that capture the multiphysical phenomena within the …

We describe a variable friction haptic display on a large area of glass, and characterize its
performance. The Large Area Tactile Pattern Display (LATPaD) uses modulation of surface …

This paper proposes a visuo-haptic feedback system that can provide haptic feedback to
multiple users on an LCD monitor using electrostatic adhesion and built-in capacitive …

The distinct tactile feedback provided by mechanical keyboards notifies users that their
actions have been successfully recorded. The presence of these subtle yet informative …

Previously proposed models of the ultrasonic lubrication of a finger mediated by flat surfaces
are not consistent with the experimental results for vibrational amplitudes greater than a few …

Perception of the frictional properties of a surface contributes to the multidimensional
experience of exploring various materials; we slide our fingers over a surface to feel it. In …
