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 …

In human movement augmentation, the number of controlled degrees of freedom could be
enhanced by the simultaneous and independent use of supernumerary robotic limbs (SRL) …

Tactile Brush is an algorithm that produces smooth, two-dimensional tactile moving strokes
with varying frequency, intensity, velocity and direction of motion. The design of the …

Current virtual and augmented reality head-mounted displays usually include no or only a
single vibration motor for haptic feedback and do not use it for guidance. We present …

Touch is an essential method for communicating emotions between individuals. Humans
use a variety of different gestures to convey these emotions, including squeezes, pats, and …

A phantom sensation refers to an illusory tactile sensation perceived midway between
multiple distant stimulations on the skin. Phantom sensations have been used intensively in …

Engaging children with traditional approaches in education, especially reading, grows ever
more difficult in the face of their attachment to tablets and computer games. We explore the …

We propose using spatial gestures not only for input but also for output. Analogous to
gesture input, the proposed gesture output moves the user's finger in a gesture, which the …

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 …

In recent years, multiple navigation systems using vibrotactile feedback have been studied,
due to their ability to convey information while keeping free the visual and auditory channels …
