A seven degree-of-freedom (DOF) haptic device has been developed with applications towards robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery. The device consists of four degrees of force ...
We present a new method for sensing the visual environment using multiple transducers, each mounted on an individual fingertip to sense a single point in the visual surroundings. ...

This paper describes a technique for unwarping encoder ripple in a low cost haptic interface prototype. We previously demonstrated how using a low-resolution optical encoder to el...
We describe a system comprising two or several haptic probes each having a sensor, an actuator, and circuitry. The inputs and outputs can be connected to audio channels of standar...
The authors present frequency and amplitude discrimination thresholds for motional and vibrational stimuli presented with and without the presence of roving background signals. Pa...
At first glance, multi-element forearm mounted vibrotactile displays would appear to have considerable potential as an output device for mobile computing. The devices are small, r...
The film industry consistently strives to make the movie-going experience more immersive and more captivating, through larger screens, higher-quality images, and increasingly soph...
