Performance improvement with haptic assistance: A quantitative assessment
We measure the performance improvement that force feedback can provide in a virtual environment, through three experiments with, and without the assistance of haptic guidance. Per...

Determining appropriate parameters to elicit linear and circular apparent motion using vibrotactile cues
This paper reports on two experiments we conducted to look at how to design effective linear and circular apparent-motion displays. Using a two-tactor array on the upper arm, the ...

Virtual active touch: Perceived roughness through a pointing-stick-type tactile interface
For realizing a tactile display for a handheld device, active touch movement should be represented on a small interface. We propose the addition of a tactile feedback mechanism fo...
