In the last decade, several new haptic devices have been developed, contributing to the
definition of more realistic virtual environments. An overview of this topic requires a …

Finger augmentation devices, those that are worn and operated by fingers, are a rapidly
growing field in the human--computer interaction domain. This field is rooted in ancient …

This study presents a 3D virtual reality (VR) keyboard system with realistic haptic feedback.
The system uses two five-fingered data gloves to track finger positions and postures, uses …

A virtual touch screen concept using an optical see-through head-mounted display has been
suggested. With a virtual touch screen, the user's direct-touch interactions are allowed in …

We present a study that compares finger-based direct interaction to controller-based ray
interaction in a CAVE as well as in head-mounted displays. We focus on interaction tasks …

Humans can perceive tactile sensation through multimodal stimuli. To demonstrate realistic
pseudo tactile sensation for the users, a tactile display is needed that can provide multiple …

This paper proposes a miniature haptic ring that can display touch/pressure and shearing
force to the user's fingerpad. For practical use and wider application of the device, it is …

We aim to achieve intraoperative localization of an early-stage gastric tumor that cannot be
visually detected during laparoscopic surgery. In this study, we developed and evaluated a …

This paper introduces a system that focuses on physics-based manipulation and haptic
rendering to achieve realistic dexterous manipulation of virtual objects in VR environments …

In this study, we develop an embedded sensor system for a previously devised finger-
wearable tactile interface, named HaptiCube, that can display five-degrees-of-freedom (5 …
