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 …

Electroadhesion (EA) is an electrically controllable adhesion mechanism that has been
studied and used in fields including active adhesion and attachment, robotic gripping …

This paper investigates the effects of thermal referral and tactile masking illusions to achieve
localized thermal feedback on the upper body. Two experiments are conducted. The first …

Noise is generally considered to be detrimental. In the right conditions, however, noise can
improve signal detection or information transmission. This counterintuitive phenomenon is …

Realistic display of tactile textures on touch screens is a big step forward for haptic
technology to reach a wide range of consumers utilizing electronic devices on a daily basis …

We investigate the effect of finger moisture on the tactile perception of electroadhesion with
10 participants. Participants with moist fingers exhibited markedly higher threshold levels …

Advancements in surface haptics technology have given rise to the development of
interactive applications displaying tactile content on touch surfaces such as images, signs …

Multi-sensory wearable haptic devices are able to encode a variety of information using
multiple haptic cues. However, simultaneous cues can be misperceived due to tactile …

This study presents a novel method for creating moving thermal sensations by integrating
the thermal referral illusion with tactile motion. Conducted through three experiments on …

We present a general theory of electroadhesion assuming layered materials with finite
electric conductivity and an air gap resulting from interfacial surface roughness. The theory …
