Touch is one most of the important aspects of human life. Nearly all interactions, when
broken down, involve touch in one form or another. Recent advances in technology …

Upon publication almost 15 years ago, the first edition almost instantly became a trusted
reference, setting the stage for the coming decade, in which the explosion in research and …

Interacting with physical objects through a tool elicits tactile and kinesthetic sensations that
comprise your haptic impression of the object. These cues, however, are largely missing …

During the last decade, haptics has been a new emerged and interesting subject for many
researchers, which can be classified into three topics such as human haptics, machine …

The tactual scanning of five naturalistic textures was recorded with an apparatus that is
capable of measuring the tangential interaction force with a high degree of temporal and …

This paper presents an improved approach to geometry-based haptic texture modeling and
rendering. We adopt photometric stereo, one of the most accurate algorithms for 3D surface …

With the introduction of variable friction displays, either based on ultrasonic or
electrovibration technology, new possibilities have emerged in haptic texture rendering on …

In this article, we present a data-driven texture rendering method applied to a tactile display
based on electrostatic attraction. The proposed method was examined in two steps. First …

This paper presents a new approach to data-driven modeling of isotropic haptic textures
using frequency-decomposed neural networks from the contact acceleration data that are …

The development of tactile screens opens new perspectives for co-located images and
haptic rendering, leading to the concept of “haptic images.” They emerge from the …
