Fundamental Limits in the Rendering of Virtual Haptic Textures
We discuss the properties of force-feedback haptic simulation systems that fundamentally limit the re-creation of periodic gratings, and hence, of any texture. These include sampl...

A First Investigation into the Effectiveness of Tactons
This paper reports two experiments relating to the design of Tactons (or tactile icons). The first experiment investigated perception of vibro-tactile “roughness” (created usi...

The Design and Evaluation of a Vibrotactile Progress Bar
We present an investigation into the use of Tactons to present progress information. Progress bars are common but must compete for screen space and visual attention with other vis...

Delayed Visual and Haptic Feedback in a Reciprocal Tapping Task
To make optimal use of distributed virtual environments (DVEs), we must understand and quantify the effects that latency has on user performance. Although the effects of visual la...

Bi-Level and Anti-Aliased Rendering Methods for a Low-Resolution 2D Vibrotactile Array
We investigate rendering methods for 2D tactile arrays. We present four rendering methods, two of which are anti-aliased methods to improve display quality and smoothness. We desc...
