Wearable sensing gloves and sensory feedback devices that record and enhance the
sensations of the hand are used in healthcare, prosthetics, robotics, and virtual reality …

Haptic devices typically rely on rigid actuators and bulky power supply systems, limiting
wearability. Soft materials improve comfort, but careful distribution of stiffness is required to …

Virtual and augmented reality headsets are making significant progress in audio-visual
immersion and consumer adoption. However, their haptic immersion remains low, due in …

Integration of soft haptic devices into garments can improve their usability and wearability for
daily computing interactions. In this paper, we introduce PneuSleeve, a fabric-based …

Haptic feedback is known to enhance the realism of an individual's interactions with objects
in virtual environments. Wearable haptic devices, such as vibrotactile sleeves or armbands …

Haptic feedback offers a useful mode of communication in visually or auditorily noisy
environments. The adoption of haptic devices in our everyday lives, however, remains …

Research has increasingly focused on wearable systems that provide informative haptic
sensations to the hands, enhancing user interaction in virtual reality (VR) and augmented …

Loss of tactile sensations is a major roadblock preventing upper limb-absent people from
multitasking or using the full dexterity of their prosthetic hands. With current myoelectric …

Advances in haptic technologies can alter how real objects feel to our touch and create the
experience of haptic augmented reality (AR). However, the definition, use cases, and value …
