Considering that cortical plasticity is maximal in the child, why are the majority of
technological devices available for visually impaired users meant for adults and not for …

Purpose: The aim of this review is to analyze haptic sensory substitution technologies for
deaf, blind and deaf–blind individuals. Method: The literature search has been performed in …

Assistive devices are a key aspect in wearable systems for biomedical applications, as they
represent potential aids for people with physical and sensory disabilities that might lead to …

In this paper, we present an evaluation of vibrotactile onbody feedback for the purpose of
pedestrian navigation. For this specific task, many researchers already provide different …

We present Shoe me the Way, a novel tactile interface for eyes-free pedestrian navigation in
urban environments. Our prototypical implementation can be fully integrated into users' own …

Foot interfaces, such as pressure-sensitive insoles, still yield unused potential such as for
implicit interaction. In this paper, we introduce CapSoles, enabling smart insoles to implicitly …

We present the design, implementation and evaluation of a novel wrist-based vibrotactile
multi-actuator bracelet, based on a coplanar circular configuration of actuators, for the …

Augmented Footwear has become an increasingly common research area. However, as this
is a comparatively new direction in HCI, researchers and designers are not able to build …

We present a fully latching and scalable 4× 4 haptic display with 4 mm pitch, 5 s refresh time,
400 mN holding force, and 650 μm displacement per taxel. The display serves to convey …

Background The presence of visual imagery in dreams of congenitally blind people has long
been a matter of substantial controversy. We set to systematically review body of published …
