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 …

The sense of touch (haptics) has been applied in several areas such as tele-haptics, tele-
medicine, training, education, and entertainment. As of today, haptics is used and explored …

We present PIVOT, a wrist-worn haptic device that renders virtual objects into the user's
hand on demand. Its simple design comprises a single actuated joint that pivots a haptic …

Questionnaires are among the most common research tools in virtual reality (VR) user
studies. Transitioning from virtuality to reality for giving self-reports on VR experiences can …

Providing haptic feedback in virtual reality to make the experience more realistic has
become a strong focus of research in recent years. The resulting haptic feedback systems …

To provide immersive haptic experiences, proxy-based haptic feedback systems for virtual
reality (VR) face two central challenges:(1) similarity, and (2) colocation. While to solve …

X-Rings is a novel hand-mounted 360° shape display for Virtual Reality that renders objects
in 3D and responds to user-applied touch and grasping force. Designed as a modular stack …

We introduce PoCoPo, the first handheld pin-based shape display that can render various
2.5 D shapes in hand in realtime. We designed the display small enough for a user to hold it …

3D sketching in virtual reality (VR) enables users to create 3D virtual objects intuitively and
immersively. However, previous studies showed that mid-air drawing may lead to inaccurate …

When physical props serve as proxies for virtual tools used to manipulate the virtual
environment, it is challenging to provide appropriate haptic feedback. Redirected tool …
