Haptic interfaces have been extended to the feet to enhance foot-based activities, such as
guidance while walking or stepping on virtual textures. Most feet haptics use mechanical …

We propose a novel concept for haptics in which one centralized on-body actuator renders
haptic effects on multiple body parts by stimulating the brain, ie, the source of the nervous …

Interacting with not only virtual but also real objects, or even virtual objects augmented by
real objects becomes a trend of virtual reality (VR) interactions and is common in augmented …

Augmented Footwear has become an increasingly common research area. However, as this
is a comparatively new direction in HCI, researchers and designers are not able to build …

Haptic feedback not only enhances immersion in virtual reality (VR) but also delivers
experts' haptic sensation tips in VR training, eg, properly clamping a tenon and mortise joint …

We present Stick&Slip, a novel approach that alters friction between the fingerpad &
surfaces by depositing liquid droplets that coat the fingerpad. The liquid coating modifies the …

Underfoot haptics, a largely unexplored area, offers rich tactile information close to that of
hand-based interactions. Haptic feedback gives a sense of physicality to virtual …

Virtual Reality (VR) enables users to experience simulated environments, such as snowy or
muddy landscapes. However, it remains challenging to communicate the tactile features of …

抄録 Humans can perform stable motion with a sense of stability that involves identifying
their center of gravity point with plantar sensory system. By contrast, the stability of a …

This thesis research focuses on the relationship between visual and tactile feedback and
their impact on a person's underfoot tactile perception of materials. Specifically, the research …
