Virtual reality and augmented reality (VR/AR) are evolving. The market demands and
innovation efforts call for a shift in the key VR/AR technologies and engaging people …

Ultrasound haptics is a contactless haptic technology that enables novel mid-air interactions
with rich multisensory feedback. This article surveys recent advances in ultrasound haptic …

In this study, we achieved a noncontact tactile display that presents a pinpoint and
instantaneous cooling sensation on the skin surface with no devices directly in contact with …

Mid-air tactile stimulation using ultrasonics has been used in a variety of human computer
interfaces in the form of prototypes as well as products. When generating these tactile …

A vibrotactile actuator driven by light energy is developed to produce dynamic stimulations
for haptic rendering on a thin-film structure. The actuator is constructed by adopting a …

Mid-air haptics technologies are able to convey haptic sensations without any direct contact
between the user and the haptic interface. One representative example of this technology is …

The generation of pressure perturbations in matter stimulated by pulsed light is a method
widely recognized as the photoacoustic or light‐induced thermoelastic effect. In a series of …

Traditional wearable tactile displays transfer tactile stimulations through a firm contact
between the stimulator and the skin. We conjecture that a firm contact may not be always …

This paper reports our recent finding that a laser that is radiated on a thin light-absorbing
elastic medium attached on the skin can elicit a tactile sensation of mechanical tap. Laser …

Thermosensation is crucial for humans to probe the environment and detect threats arising
from noxious heat or cold. Over the last years, EEG frequency-tagging using long-lasting …
