Immersion, interaction, and imagination are three features of virtual reality (VR). Existing VR
systems possess fairly realistic visual and auditory feedbacks, and however, are poor with …

As a result of several governments closing educational facilities in reaction to the COVID-19
pandemic in 2020, almost 80% of the world's students were not in school for several weeks …

We explore how to add haptics to walls and other heavy objects in virtual reality. When a
user tries to push such an object, our system actuates the user's shoulder, arm, and wrist …

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 …

The Tactile Internet will enable users to physically explore remote environments and to
make their skills available across distances. An important technological aspect in this …

When a tool is tapped on or dragged over an object surface, vibrations are induced in the
tool, which can be captured using acceleration sensors. The tool-surface interaction …

We present a mobile system that enhances mixed reality experiences and games with force
feedback by means of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS). The benefit of our approach is …

Texture gives real objects an important perceptual dimension that is largely missing from
virtual haptic interactions due to limitations of standard modeling and rendering approaches …

Interacting with physical objects through a tool elicits tactile and kinesthetic sensations that
comprise your haptic impression of the object. These cues, however, are largely missing …

We explore the application of a wide range of sensory stimulation technologies to the area of
sleep and dream engineering. We begin by emphasizing the causal role of the body in …
