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 …

For haptic guidance, vibrotactile feedback is a commonly-used mechanism, but requires
users to interpret its complicated patterns especially in 3D guidance, which is not intuitive …

Soft growing robots are proposed for use in applications such as complex manipulation
tasks or navigation in disaster scenarios. Safe interaction and ease of production promote …

Virtual Reality experiences, such as games and simulations, typically support the usage of
bimanual controllers to interact with virtual objects. To recreate the haptic sensation of …

Access to complex graphical information is essential when connecting blind and visually
impaired (BVI) people with the world. Tactile graphics readers enable access to graphical …

The ability to effectively read and interpret tactile graphics and charts is an essential part of a
tactile learner's path to literacy, but is a skill that requires instruction and training. Many …

In virtual/augmented/mixed reality (VR/AR/MR) applications, rendering soft virtual objects
using a hand-held haptic device is challenging due to the anatomical restrictions of the hand …

We present a 2-degrees-of-freedom (2-DoF) haptic device, which can be either used as a
grounded or a hand-held device. It is composed of two platforms moving with respect to …

Virtual reality has been with us for several decades already, but we are still trying to find the
right ways to control it. There are many controllers with various purposes and means of …

We propose a haptic system for virtual manipulation to provide feedback on the user's
forearm instead of the fingertips. In addition to visual rendering of the manipulation with …
