Haptic communications represent a vast area of research focused on integrating the sense
of touch into digital sensory experiences. Achieving effective haptic communication requires …

The emergence of novel materials with flexible and stretchable characteristics, and the use
of new processing technologies, have allowed for the development of new connected …

Emerging research has demonstrated the viability of on-textile actuation mechanisms,
however, an easily customizable and versatile on-cloth actuation mechanism is yet to be …

Skin is a promising interaction medium and has been widely explored for mobile, and
expressive interaction. Recent research in HCI has seen the development of Epidermal …

Feeling haptics with our fingerpads is how we achieve manual tasks (eg, operate a needle
or press buttons). Following this, research started adding actuators atop the users' …

We propose a new type of haptic actuator, which we call MagnetIO, that is comprised of two
parts: one battery-powered voice-coil worn on the user's fingernail and any number of …

In traditional body-art, designs are adjusted to the body as they are applied, enabling
creative improvisation and exploration. Conventional design and fabrication methods of …

The key assumption attributed to on-body touch input is that the skin being touched provides
natural tactile feedback. In this paper, we for the first time systematically explore augmenting …

We present ANISMA, a software and hardware toolkit to prototype on-skin haptic devices
that generate skin deformation stimuli like pressure, stretch, and motion using shape …

As touch interactions become ubiquitous in the field of human computer interactions, it is
critical to enrich haptic feedback to improve efficiency, accuracy, and immersive …
