A review of surface haptics: Enabling tactile effects on touch surfaces
In this article, we review the current technology underlying surface haptics that converts
passive touch surfaces to active ones (machine haptics), our perception of tactile stimuli …

Tactile rendering of 3D features on touch surfaces
We present a tactile-rendering algorithm for simulating 3D geometric features, such as
bumps, on touch screen surfaces. This is achieved by modulating friction forces between the …
