Shaping Compliance Inducing Haptic Illusion of Compliance in Different Shapes with Electrotactile Grains Abstract Compliance, the degree of displacement under applied force, is pivotal in determining the material perception when touching an object. Vibrotactile actuators can be used for creating grain-based virtual compliance, but they have poor spatial resolution and a limiting rigid form factor. We propose a novel electrotactile compliance illusion that renders grains […]
Weirding Haptics In-Situ Prototyping of Vibrotactile Feedback in Virtual Reality through Vocalization Effective haptic feedback in virtual reality (VR) is an essential element for creating convincing immersive experiences. To design such feedback, state-of-the-art VR setups provide APIs for programmatically generating controller vibration patterns. While tools for designing vibrotactile feedback keep evolving, they often require expert knowledge and rarely support direct manipulation methods for mapping feedback […]
Springlets Expressive, Flexible and Silent On-Skin Tactile Interfaces We introduce Springlets, expressive, non-vibrating mechanotactile interfaces on the skin. Embedded with shape memory alloy springs, we implement Springlets as thin and flexible stickers to be worn on various body locations, thanks to their silent operation even on the neck and head. We present a technically simple and rapid technique for fabricating a wide range of Springlet […]
