Haptic technology involves the use of electrical or mechanical means to stimulate afferent
nerves or mechanoreceptors in the skin as the basis for creating sensations of physical …

Although physical artifacts that represent data have been used for centuries, the research
field—known as data physicalization—has only recently gained traction. Compared to data …

The term vibration perception threshold (VPT) refers to the minimum amplitude required for a
vibration to be consciously perceived. Knowledge of VPTs can be used to aid in the …

This paper is concerned with emotional responses of tactile icons. Using three sets of tactile
icons in which four physical parameters-amplitude, frequency, duration, and envelope-were …

This paper explores the combination of multiple concurrent modalities for conveying
emotional information in HCI: temperature, vibration and abstract visual displays. Each …

Physical buttons provide clear haptic feedback when pressed and released, but their
responses are unvarying. Physical buttons can be powered by force actuators to produce …

We present HapTable; a multi-modal interactive tabletop that allows users to interact with
digital images and objects through natural touch gestures, and receive visual and haptic …

Electromyography (EMG) enables hands-free interactions by detecting muscle activity at
different human body locations. Previous studies have demonstrated that input performance …

This paper describes a novel category of affective vibrotactile stimuli which evoke real-world
sensations and details a study into emotional responses to them. The affective properties of …

This paper reports about the effects of vibration direction and finger-pressing force on
vibrotactile perception, with the goal of improving the effectiveness of haptic feedback on …
