Mulsemedia—multiple sensorial media—makes possible the inclusion of layered sensory
stimulation and interaction through multiple sensory channels. The recent upsurge in …

Haptic technology has been widely employed in applications ranging from teleoperation and
medical simulation to art and design, including entertainment, flight simulation, and virtual …

From simple vibrations to roles in complex multisensory systems, haptic technology is often
a critical, expected component of user experience–one face of the rapid progression …

The term “haptics” refers to the science of sensing and manipulation through touch. Multiple
disciplines such as biomechanics, psychophysics, robotics, neuroscience, and software …

Emerging research has demonstrated the viability of emotional communication through
haptic technology inspired by interpersonal touch. However, the meaning-making of artificial …

The tongue is a remarkable human organ with a high concentration of taste receptors and
an exceptional ability to sense touch. This work uses electro-tactile stimulation to explore the …

Chairs, wearables, and handhelds have become popular sites for spatial tactile display.
Visual animators, already expert in using time and space to portray motion, could readily …

Examples are a critical part of any design process, but supporting their use for a haptic
medium is nontrivial. Current libraries for vibrotactile (VT) effects provide neither insight into …

We present ANISMA, a software and hardware toolkit to prototype on-skin haptic devices
that generate skin deformation stimuli like pressure, stretch, and motion using shape …

Our haptic sense comprises both taction or cutaneous information obtained through
receptors in the skin, and kinesthetic awareness of body forces and motions. Broadly …
