Touch is currently seen as the modality that will complement audition and vision as a third
media stream over the Internet in a variety of future haptic applications which will allow full …

The Tactile Internet will enable users to physically explore remote environments and to
make their skills available across distances. An important technological aspect in this …

Additive manufacturing, if seconded by a paradigm change to the museum model, can be
employed in many ways to reintegrate touch, and other non-retinal senses into our cultural …

Modern haptic interfaces are adept at conveying the large-scale shape of virtual objects, but
they often provide unrealistic or no feedback when it comes to the microscopic details of …

When a tool is tapped on or dragged over an object surface, vibrations are induced in the
tool, which can be captured using acceleration sensors. The tool-surface interaction …

Haptics research has seen several recent efforts at understanding and recreating real
vibrations to improve the quality of haptic feedback in both virtual environments and …

Develo** a signal compression technique that is able to achieve a low bit rate while
maintaining high perceptual signal quality is a classical signal processing problem …

While stroking a rigid tool over an object surface, vibrations induced on the tool, which
represent the interaction between the tool and the surface texture, can be measured by …

We present a novel input/output device to display the tactile properties of surface materials.
The proposed Tactile Computer Mouse (TCM) is equipped with a series of actuators that can …

We present a framework for the acquisition and parametrization of object material properties.
The introduced acquisition device, denoted as Texplorer2, is able to extract surface material …
