In the last decade, we have witnessed a drastic change in the form factor of audio and vision
technologies, from heavy and grounded machines to lightweight devices that naturally fit our …

Encountered-Type Haptic Displays (ETHDs) provide haptic feedback by positioning a
tangible surface for the user to encounter. This permits users to freely eliciting haptic …

Despite its expected clinical benefits, current teleoperated surgical robots do not provide the
surgeon with haptic feedback largely because grounded forces can destabilize the system's …

Wearability will significantly increase the use of haptics in everyday life, as has already
happened for audio and video technologies. The literature on wearable haptics is mainly …

Recent hand-held controllers have explored a variety of haptic feedback sensations for
users in virtual reality by producing both kinesthetic and cutaneous feedback from virtual …

The word haptics, believed to be derived from the Greek word haptesthai, means related to
the sense of touch. In the psychology and neuroscience literature, haptics is the study of …

This article is the first of a two-part series intended as an introduction to haptic interfaces.
Together they provide a general introduction to haptic interfaces, their construction, and …

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

A novel wearable haptic device for modulating contact forces at the fingertip is presented.
Rendering of forces by skin deformation in three degrees of freedom (DoF), with contact-no …

Objectives: Haptics in teleoperated medical interventions enables measurement and
transfer of force information to the operator during robot-environment interaction. This paper …
