An empirically informed philosophical account of human touch as a single, unified sensory
modality that plays a central role in perception. It is through touch that we are able to interact …

Humans can detect and discriminate between fine variations of surface roughness using
active touch. It is hitherto believed that roughness perception is mediated mostly by …

Finger friction measurements performed on a series of printing papers are evaluated to
determine representativeness of a single individual. Results show occasionally large …

Technology forecasting is a preliminary step in understanding social change. The response
to COVID-19 will affect retailers and customers for years to come, forcing changes to …

The sense of touch allows us to infer objects' physical properties, while the same input also
produces affective sensations. These affective sensations are important for interpersonal …

Realistic display of tactile textures on touch screens is a big step forward for haptic
technology to reach a wide range of consumers utilizing electronic devices on a daily basis …

This study aims at developing a 3D tactile system to help visually impaired people recognize

In this study, we have investigated the human roughness perception of periodical textures
on an electrostatic display by conducting psychophysical experiments with 10 subjects. To …

A compliant 2× 2 tactile sensor array was developed and investigated for roughness
encoding. State of the art cross shape 3D MEMS sensors were integrated with polymeric …

Touching an object can elicit affective sensations. Because these sensations are critical for
social interaction, tactile preferences may be adapted to the characteristics of the human …
