This article reviews the technology behind creating artificial touch sensations and the
relevant aspects of human touch. We focus on the design and control of haptic devices and …

Upon publication almost 15 years ago, the first edition almost instantly became a trusted
reference, setting the stage for the coming decade, in which the explosion in research and …

Advances in haptic technologies can alter how real objects feel to our touch and create the
experience of haptic augmented reality (AR). However, the definition, use cases, and value …

This paper presents the design and validation of an ungrounded haptic augmented reality
system that alters the roughness and friction of a rigid 3-D object. The user touches the …

In this article, we investigate the effects of active transient vibration and visuo-haptic illusion
to augment the perceived softness of haptic proxy objects. We introduce a system combining …

Tactile exploration of a material's texture using a bare finger pad is a daily human activity.
However, modern tactile displays do not allow users to experience the natural sensations of …

We investigated the effect of vibration feedback latency on material perception during a
tapping interaction using a rod device. When a user taps a surface, the perception of the …

The poster describes a multisensory simulation of plucking guitar strings in virtual reality and
a user study evaluating the simulation. Auditory feedback is generated by a physics-based …

Extensive research has been done in haptic feedback for texture simulation in virtual reality
(VR). However, it is challenging to modify the perceived tactile texture of existing physical …

Compared to wearable devices, handheld haptic devices are promising for large scale
virtual reality applications because of their portability and capability of supporting large …
