Immersive technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) empower
users to experience digital realities. Known as distinct technology classes, the lines between …

The sense of touch (haptics) has been applied in several areas such as tele-haptics, tele-
medicine, training, education, and entertainment. As of today, haptics is used and explored …

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 …

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 …

Today's virtual reality (VR) systems allow users to explore immersive new worlds and
experiences through sight. Unfortunately, most VR systems lack haptic feedback, and even …

We introduce DextrES, a flexible and wearable haptic glove which integrates both
kinesthetic and cutaneous feedback in a thin and light form factor (weight is less than 8g) …

We present PIVOT, a wrist-worn haptic device that renders virtual objects into the user's
hand on demand. Its simple design comprises a single actuated joint that pivots a haptic …

Standard controllers for virtual reality (VR) lack sophisticated means to convey a realistic,
kinesthetic impression of size, resistance or inertia. We present the concept and …

We present a new handheld haptic device, Thor's Hammer, which uses propeller propulsion
to generate ungrounded, 3-DOF force feedback. Thor's Hammer has six motors and …

We present MRTouch, a novel multitouch input solution for head-mounted mixed reality
systems. Our system enables users to reach out and directly manipulate virtual interfaces …
