Abstract. Compressibility or hardness of objects is an important aspect in haptic perception. Both cutaneous and kinaesthetic information are used for the perception of compressibi...
Abstract. In order to realize artificial tactile sensation, we are researching the natural nerve activity timing of mechanoreceptors. Considering the energy conversion system of t...

Abstract. Virtual Prototyping with haptic feedback offers great benefits in the development process of actuated systems. We present a generic control scheme for the haptic render...
Abstract. In this study we compared human discrimination performance for real and virtual curved shapes. To simulate a curved shape we used a device that could independently orient...

This paper describes a new tactile device which produces stress fields in 3D space. Combined with 3D stereoscopic displays, this device is expected to provide high-fidelity tacti...
Abstract. This paper introduces a new pedagogical tool using haptic feedback and visual analogy, to improve perception and learning of nanoscale phenomena, for people without prior...
Haptic icons (brief tangible stimuli with associated meanings) are a new way to convey information, but are difficult to design in large quantities due to technological and percept...
Volume haptics has become an increasingly popular way of adding guidance and improving information bandwidth in scientific visualization. State-of-the-art methods, however, use li...
