Haptic feedback plays a large role in enhancing immersion and presence in VR. However,
previous research and commercial products have limitations in terms of variety and locations …

We present DrivingVibe, which explores vibrotactile feedback designs around the head to
enhance VR driving motion experiences. We propose two approaches that use a 360 …

Tactile patterns are a means to convey navigation instructions to pedestrians and are
especially helpful for people with visual impairments. This article presents a concept to …

Globalization in the field of industry is fostering the need for cognitive production systems. To
implement modern concepts that enable tools and systems for such a cognitive production …

We present MotionRing, a vibrotactile headband that creates illusory tactile motion around
the head by controlling the timing of a 1-D, 360° sparse array of vibration motors. Its unique …

The vibrotactile funneling illusion is the sensation of a single (non-existing) stimulus
somewhere in-between the actual stimulus locations. Its occurrence depends upon body …

Construction workers have difficulty identifying potential risks in harsh environments
because traditional visual and acoustical alerts are inefficient. This study investigated a new …

In immersive virtual environments (IVE), users' visual and auditory perception is replaced by
computer-generated stimuli. Thus, knowing the positions of real objects is crucial for …

This article investigated the localization ability of an impulse vibration source outside the
body in two-dimensional space. We tested whether humans can recognize the direction or …

Passive Haptic Learning (PHL) describes the learning of a motion, sequence or pattern
without voluntary involvement of attention, focus or motivation through a haptic interface. In …
