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 …

Display form factors such as size and shape have been conventionally determined in
consideration of usability and portability. The recent trends requiring wearability and …

Virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) are expected to revolutionise entertainment,
healthcare, communication and the manufacturing industries among many others. Near‐eye …

We survey the state of the art of spatial interfaces for 3D visualization. Interaction techniques
are crucial to data visualization processes and the visualization research community has …

HapticBots introduces a novel encountered-type haptic approach for Virtual Reality (VR)
based on multiple tabletop-size shape-changing robots. These robots move on a tabletop …

Interacting with virtual objects with haptic feedback directly using the user's hand (hand-
based haptic interaction) has attracted increasing attention. Due to the high degrees of …

In this work, we utilize visuo-haptic illusions to improve the perceived performance of
encountered-type haptic devices, specifically shape displays, in virtual reality. Shape …

X-Rings is a novel hand-mounted 360° shape display for Virtual Reality that renders objects
in 3D and responds to user-applied touch and grasping force. Designed as a modular stack …

Data physicalization is a rich and vast research area that studies the use of physical artifacts
to convey data. It overlaps with a number of research areas including information …

While previously proposed hardware on pin-based shape display has improved various
technical aspects, there has been a clear limitation on the haptic quality of variable'force' …
