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 …

Immersive technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) empower
users to experience digital realities. Known as distinct technology classes, the lines between …

Since its introduction in 1994, Milgram and Kishino's reality-virtuality (RV) continuum has
been used to frame virtual and augmented reality research and development. While …

We present Haptic Revolver, a handheld virtual reality controller that renders fingertip
haptics when interacting with virtual surfaces. Haptic Revolver's core haptic element is an …

Augmented reality and virtual reality technologies are increasing in popularity. Augmented
reality has thrived to date mainly on mobile applications, with games like Pokémon Go or the …

“Virtual-Physical Perceptual Manipulations”(VPPMs) such as redirected walking and haptics
expand the user's capacity to interact with Virtual Reality (VR) beyond what would ordinarily …

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 …

We present an investigation of mechanically-actuated hand-held controllers that render the
shape of virtual objects through physical shape displacement, enabling users to feel 3D …

Many people want to learn a language but find it difficult to stay engaged. Ideally, we would
have language learning tools that can make language learning more enjoyable by …

We propose a class of passive haptics that we call Sparse Haptic Proxy: a set of geometric
primitives that simulate touch feedback in elaborate virtual reality scenes. Unlike previous …
