With the proliferation of flexible displays and the advances in smart materials, it is now
possible to create interactive devices that are not only flexible but can reconfigure into any …

Text-based conversational systems, also referred to as chatbots, have grown widely popular.
Current natural language understanding technologies are not yet ready to tackle the …

Technology is continually undergoing a constituent development caused by the appearance
of billions new interconnected “things” and their entrenchment in our daily lives. One of the …

Shape-changing interfaces have emerged as a new method for interacting with computers,
using dynamic changes in a device's physical shape for input and output. With the advances …

Introduction The potential of virtual reality (VR) to contribute to drug design and development
has been recognized for many years. A recent advance is to use VR not only to visualize …

This paper introduces Tacttoo, a feel-through interface for electro-tactile output on the user's
skin. Integrated in a temporary tattoo with a thin and conformal form factor, it can be applied …

Immersive experiences seek to engage the full sensory system in ways that words, pictures,
or touch alone cannot. With respect to the haptic system, however, physical feedback has …

Today's consumer virtual reality (VR) systems offer limited haptic feedback via vibration
motors in handheld controllers. Rendering haptics to other parts of the body is an open …

Haptic feedback plays a large role in enhancing immersion and presence in VR. However,
previous research and commercial products have limitations in terms of variety and locations …

We propose a paradigm called Skin-On interfaces, in which interactive devices have their
own (artificial) skin, thus enabling new forms of input gestures for end-users (eg twist …
