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 …

This book reviews the considerable body of research that has been done to evaluate the
touch skills of blind people. With an emphasis on cognitive and neuroscientific approaches …

Deep learning has the potential to have same the impact on robot touch as it has had on
robot vision. Optical tactile sensors act as a bridge between the subjects by allowing …

This chapter describes a sensory modality that underlies the most common everyday
activities: maintaining one's posture, scratching an itch, or picking up a spoon. As a topic of …

Fueled by novel applications, interest in haptic perception is growing. This paper provides
an overview of the state of the art of a number of important aspects of haptic perception. By …

Edges are one of the most ubiquitous geometric features of physical objects. They provide
accurate haptic feedback and easy-to-track features for camera systems, making them an …

In this study, we show that humans form highly similar perceptual spaces when they explore
complex objects from a parametrically defined object space in the visual and haptic …

While the concept of visual saliency has been previously explored in the areas of mesh and
image processing, saliency detection also applies to other sensory stimuli. In this paper, we …

Shape-changing interfaces are a category of device capable of altering their form in order to
facilitate communication of information. In this work, we present a shape-changing device …

Perceiving the material properties of objects through touch is generally superior to the
perception of shape. We review major material properties accessible through haptic …
