Recent hand-held controllers have explored a variety of haptic feedback sensations for
users in virtual reality by producing both kinesthetic and cutaneous feedback from virtual …

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 …

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 …

Data-driven texture modeling and rendering has pushed the limit of realism in haptics.
However, the lack of haptic texture databases, difficulties of model interpolation and …

We present a novel input/output device to display the tactile properties of surface materials.
The proposed Tactile Computer Mouse (TCM) is equipped with a series of actuators that can …

This paper presents the design and validation of an ungrounded haptic augmented reality
system that alters the roughness and friction of a rigid 3-D object. The user touches the …

In this article, we present a data-driven texture rendering method applied to a tactile display
based on electrostatic attraction. The proposed method was examined in two steps. First …

Haptic enhancement of touchscreens usually involves vibrating motors producing limited
sensations or custom mechanical actuators that are difficult to disseminate. In this paper, we …

For very rough surfaces, friction-induced vibrations contain frequencies that change in
proportion to sliding speed. Given the poor capacity of the somatosensory system to …

Touch-produced sounds in tool-surface interactions convey rich information about textured
surface properties and provide direct feedback about how users interact with the surface …
