Vibrotactile interaction is an essential source of HCI and should be on a large scale, such as room scale, whereas in the past many devices have been small. However, there is a practical difficulties for implementing vibrotactile actuators and sensors ...

This work seeks to design and evaluate haptic feedback for sequential gestural inputs, where mid-air hand gestures are used to express system commands. Nine haptic patterns are first designed leveraging metaphors. To pursue efficient interaction, we ...

On-wrist vibrotactile feedback, such as provided through smartwatches, has been shown to have a positive impact on users’ touch input performance with mobile devices, but the user experience of combined on-screen and on-wrist vibrations has been ...

Vibrotactile cues commonly serve as substitutes for visual feedback in eyes-free touch input, yet not all touchscreens have haptic capabilities. In this work, we examine the user experience of arm-localized vibrations delivered away from the touchscreen ...

Advancements in robot autonomy and safety have enabled close interactions, such as object handovers, with humans. During robot-to-human handovers in assembly tasks, the robot considers the state of the human to determine its optimal handover position and ...

This paper introduces Shape2Vibe, a co-design tool for collaboratively designing vibrotactile feedback with people with deafblindness. We outline how a first version of Shape2Vibe was developed and tested. We explain to what extent the tool supports ...

The TouchBox is an open-source device aimed at finger-based interaction, offering advanced auditory and vibrotactile feedback. Its capabilities encompass tracking multiple finger gestures, measuring exerted forces, and contact areas, while providing ...

Elastic Displays are shape-changing interfaces, typically made from elastic fabric. Surface deformation creates an additional dimension of interaction and enhances the haptic experience for the user compared to rigid touch interfaces. Other forms of ...

The objective of this work is to uncover the capabilities of tactile illusions applied on the head to assist cyclists in navigation tasks. Recent research using tactile illusions to support guidance has focused on augmenting the entire circumference of ...

In Human-Computer-Interaction, vibrotactile haptic feedback offers the advantage of being independent of any visual perception of the environment. Most importantly, the user’s field of view is not obscured by user interface elements, and the visual sense ...

With most digital devices, vibrotactile feedback consists of rhythmic patterns of continuous vibration. In contrast, when interacting with physical objects, we experience many of their material properties through vibration which is not continuous, but ...

Virtual Reality (VR) users often encounter postural instability, i.e., balance issues, which can be a significant impediment to universal usability and accessibility, particularly for those with balance impairments. Prior research has validated ...

Wrist-worn vibrotactile feedback has been heralded as a promising intervention for reducing state anxiety during stressor events. However, current work has focused on the continuous delivery of the vibrotactile stimulus, which entails the risk of ...

Visually induced motion sickness in VR, or cybersickness, is a major barrier to VR adoption. We present InertiaVibe, a low-fidelity approach to simulate the experience of lateral inertial forces using headset-integrated vibration motors. Specifically, ...

Stroke is one of the most common causes of death globally and a reason for severe impairments. Many stroke survivors report a loss of muscle strength and, thus, need to regain motor control of their upper limbs with rehabilitation. In some cases, ...

We examine vibrotactile feedback delivered on the finger, wrist, and forearm with the goal of enriching the experience of touch input interactions with public displays. We focus on understanding the user experience of such interactions, which we ...

We present TactJam, an end-to-end suite for creating and sharing low fidelity prototypes of on-body vibrotactile feedback. With TactJam, designers can create, record and share vibrotactile patterns online. This opens up new ways of collaboratively ...

Effective haptic feedback in virtual reality (VR) is an essential element for creating convincing immersive experiences. To design such feedback, state-of-the-art VR setups provide APIs for programmatically generating controller vibration patterns. ...

Game designers and researchers employ a sophisticated language for producing great player experiences with concepts such as juiciness, which refers to excessive positive feedback. However, much of their discourse excludes the role and value of haptic ...

The rise of virtual reality and haptic technologies has created exciting new applications in medical training and education. In a dental simulation, haptic technology can create the illusion of substances (teeth, gingiva, bone, etc.) by providing ...
