Since the popularisation of the Internet in the 1990s, the cyberspace has kept evolving. We
have created various computer-mediated virtual environments, including social networks …

This article reviews the technology behind creating artificial touch sensations and the
relevant aspects of human touch. We focus on the design and control of haptic devices and …

We present Haptic Revolver, a handheld virtual reality controller that renders fingertip
haptics when interacting with virtual surfaces. Haptic Revolver's core haptic element is an …

Immersion, interaction, and imagination are three features of virtual reality (VR). Existing VR
systems possess fairly realistic visual and auditory feedbacks, and however, are poor with …

We present an investigation of mechanically-actuated hand-held controllers that render the
shape of virtual objects through physical shape displacement, enabling users to feel 3D …

Science-fiction movies portray volumetric systems that provide not only visual but also tactile
and audible three-dimensional (3D) content. Displays based on swept-volume surfaces …

We present a method for creating three-dimensional haptic shapes in mid-air using focused
ultrasound. This approach applies the principles of acoustic radiation force, whereby the non …

Controlling acoustic fields is crucial in diverse applications such as loudspeaker design,
ultrasound imaging and therapy or acoustic particle manipulation. The current approaches …

Next generation devices, such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and smart
appliances, demand a simple and intuitive way for users to interact with them. To address …

The use of the senses of vision and audition as interactive means has dominated the field of
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) for decades, even though nature has provided us with …
