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 …

This paper reviews studies on the tactile dimensionality of physical properties of materials in
order to determine a common structure for these dimensions. Based on the commonality …

Ungrounded haptic devices for virtual reality (VR) applications lack the ability to convincingly
render the sensations of a grasped virtual object's rigidity and weight. We present Grabity, a …

One of the main barriers to immersivity during object manipulation in virtual reality is the lack
of realistic haptic feedback. Our goal is to convey compelling interactions with virtual objects …

Various psychophysical methods have been used to study human haptic perception,
although the selection of a particular method is often based on convention, rather than an …

This paper reviews tactual perception of material properties such as roughness, compliance,
coldness and friction. Psychophysical functions relating physical properties to perception are …

Tangible objects are used in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) to enhance
haptic information on the general shape of virtual objects. However, they are often passive …

Cutaneous haptic feedback can be used to enhance the performance of robotic
teleoperation systems while guaranteeing their safety. Delivering ungrounded cutaneous …

The word haptics, believed to be derived from the Greek word haptesthai, means related to
the sense of touch. In the psychology and neuroscience literature, haptics is the study of …

A novel wearable haptic device for modulating contact forces at the fingertip is presented.
Rendering of forces by skin deformation in three degrees of freedom (DoF), with contact-no …
