Although human-built environment interaction has been studied extensively, the scope has
been mostly limited to a single sensory domain instead of multimodal conditions. This …

In the same way that we experience the real-world through a range of senses, experiencing
a virtual environment through multiple sensory modalities may augment both our presence …

The research on presence in recent years resulted in a number of definitions and methods to
measure it. Due to the variety of concepts it is difficult for today's and future researchers to …

Standard controllers for virtual reality (VR) lack sophisticated means to convey a realistic,
kinesthetic impression of size, resistance or inertia. We present the concept and …

We introduce Springlets, expressive, non-vibrating mechanotactile interfaces on the skin.
Embedded with shape memory alloy springs, we implement Springlets as thin and flexible …

We present two proof of concept sensory experiences designed for virtual reality (VR). Our
experiences bring together smell, sound, taste, touch, and sight, focusing on low-cost, non …

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 …

Haptic cues are a valuable feedback mechanism for smart glasses. Prior work has shown
how they can support navigation, deliver notifications and cue targets. However, a focus on …

Acoustic noise control or cancellation (ANC) is a commonplace component of modern audio
headphones. ANC aims to actively mitigate disturbing environmental noise for a quieter and …

Including haptic feedback in current consumer VR applications is frequently challenging,
since technical possibilities to create haptic feedback in consumer-grade VR are limited …
