In the last two decades, the design of pseudo-haptics as a haptic presentation method that
does not require a mechanical feedback device has been proposed in various research …

Weight is perceived through the combination of multiple sensory systems, and a wide range
of factors–including touch, visual, and force senses–can influence the perception of …

In virtual reality, the lack of kinesthetic feedback often prevents users from experiencing the
weight of virtual objects. Control-to-display (C/D) ratio manipulation has been proposed as a …

We define the concept of Dynamic Passive Haptic Feedback (DPHF) for virtual reality by
introducing the weight-shifting physical DPHF proxy object Shifty. This concept combines …

Virtual reality (VR) technology strives to enable a highly immersive experience for the user
by including a wide variety of modalities (eg visuals, haptics). Current VR hardware however …

Current Virtual Reality (VR) systems are bereft of stylization and embellishment of the user's
motion-concepts that have been well explored in animations for games and movies. We …

To provide immersive haptic experiences, proxy-based haptic feedback systems for virtual
reality (VR) face two central challenges:(1) similarity, and (2) colocation. While to solve …

Embodiment toward an avatar in virtual reality (VR) is generally stronger when there is a
high degree of alignment between the user's and self-avatar's motion. However, one-to-one …

Avatars, the users' virtual representations, are becoming ubiquitous in virtual reality
applications. In this context, the avatar becomes the medium which enables users to …

The fingertips are one of the most important and sensitive parts of our body. They are the first
stimulated areas of the hand when we interact with our environment. Providing haptic …
