In the last decade, several new haptic devices have been developed, contributing to the
definition of more realistic virtual environments. An overview of this topic requires a …

Haptic feedback has become crucial to enhance the user experiences in Virtual Reality
(VR). This justifies the sudden burst of novel haptic solutions proposed these past years in …

This qualitative exploratory research paper presents a Manifesto for Digital Social Touch in
Crisis-a provocative call to action to designers, developers and researchers to rethink and …

Haptic interfaces have been extended to the feet to enhance foot-based activities, such as
guidance while walking or stepping on virtual textures. Most feet haptics use mechanical …

We present a novel intercorporeal experience–an intersubjective haptic voice. Through an
autobiographical design inquiry, based on singing techniques from the classical opera …

This study presents ErgoPulse, a system that integrates biomechanical simulation with
electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to provide kinesthetic force feedback to the lower-body …

We propose a haptic device that alters the perceived softness of real rigid objects without
requiring to instrument the objects. Instead, our haptic device works by restricting the user's …

Immersive visualization utilizes virtual reality, mixed reality devices, and other interactive
devices to create a novel visual environment that integrates multimodal perception and …

When vibrations are synchronized with our actions, we experience them as material
properties. This has been used to create virtual experiences like friction, counter-force …

The tongue is a remarkable human organ with a high concentration of taste receptors and
an exceptional ability to sense touch. This work uses electro-tactile stimulation to explore the …
