Immersion, interaction, and imagination are three features of virtual reality (VR). Existing VR
systems possess fairly realistic visual and auditory feedbacks, and however, are poor with …

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 …

Augmented and virtual reality have the potential of being indistinguishable from the real
world. Holographic displays, including head mounted units, support this vision by creating …

As journalists experiment with develo** immersive journalism—first-person, interactive
experiences of news events—guidelines are needed to help bridge a disconnect between …

In this study, we investigated the effect of input voltage waveform on our haptic perception of
electrovibration on touch screens. Through psychophysical experiments performed with …

The understanding and control of human skin contact against technological substrates is the
key aspect behind the design of several electromechanical devices. Among these, surface …

Despite a long history of use in communication, haptic feedback is a relatively new addition
to the toolbox of special effects. Unlike artists who use sound or vision, haptic designers …

This work aims to demonstrate and explain a nearly century old electrostatic haptic effect in
human fingertips, which has since gone unreported. This effect, based on the original work …

Technology forecasting is a preliminary step in understanding social change. The response
to COVID-19 will affect retailers and customers for years to come, forcing changes to …

The rise of mobile media over recent years has brought promise and potential for children's
learning and development. With new—and often highly interactive—ways for children to …
