This chapter sets about to provide the background and orientation needed to set a novice
designer on his or her way to bringing haptics successfully into an interactive product. To …

In recent years haptics has received considerable attention from the field of Human-
Computer Interactions (HCI) for its potential to provide more tangible and immersive …

The tactile display is an important tool to help the human interact with machines by using
feels of touch. In this paper, we present a multiply arrayed tactile display device with …

Accessibility of computer games is a Challenge. Indeed, making accessible a computer
game is much more difficult than making accessible a desktop application. In this paper we …

In this paper we describe a tactile transducer device that is optimized from biomechanical
data and that has a compact, yet modular design. The tactile transducer comprises a 6× 10 …

Earlier work with a 1D tactile transducer demonstrated that lateral skin deformation is
sufficient to produce sensations similar to those felt when brushing a finger against a line of …

The tactile display is a device which physically stimulates the human skin to reproduce the
feel of touch. This paper presents a novel tactile display device driven by a dielectric …

Energy consumption plays a crucial role in Wireless Sensor Networks as these networks are
designed to be placed in hostile and non-accessible areas. While battery-driven sensors will …

Computer games accessibility have initially been regarded as an area of minor importance
as there were much more “serious” topics to focus on. Today, the society is slowly moving …

A wearable tactile display needs to be compact and lightweight, and ideally should be able
to present vibration, force, and temperature information to the hand. In many contexts …
