Over the last decades, the development of navigation devices capable of guiding the blind
through indoor and/or outdoor scenarios has remained a challenge. In this context, this …

The rapid development of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) highlights the
demands of haptic feedback technologies, especially with portable or even wearable …

The human somatosensory system is capable of extracting features with millimeter-scale
spatial resolution and submillisecond temporal precision. Current technologies that can …

This paper introduces Tacttoo, a feel-through interface for electro-tactile output on the user's
skin. Integrated in a temporary tattoo with a thin and conformal form factor, it can be applied …

Haptic human–machine interfaces (HHMIs) combine tactile sensation and haptic feedback
to allow humans to interact closely with machines and robots, providing immersive …

Haptic communications represent a vast area of research focused on integrating the sense
of touch into digital sensory experiences. Achieving effective haptic communication requires …

Haptic feedback is critical in a broad range of human-machine/computer-interaction
applications. However, the high cost and low portability/wearability of haptic devices remain …

We propose a nail-mounted foldable haptic device that provides tactile feedback to mixed
reality (MR) environments by pressing against the user's fingerpad when a user touches a …

We propose a technique that allows an unprecedented level of dexterity in electrical muscle
stimulation (EMS), ie, it allows interactive EMS-based devices to flex the user's fingers …

For grasping, tactile stimuli to multiple fingertips are crucial for realistic shape rendering and
precise manipulation. Pinching is particularly important in virtual reality since it is frequently …
