Mechanical metamaterials promise a paradigm shift in materials design, as the classical
processing-microstructure-property relationship is no longer exhaustively describing the …

Most everyday surfaces are randomly rough and self-similar on sufficiently small scales. We
investigated the tactile perception of randomly rough surfaces using 3D-printed samples …

Humans are capable of haptically perceiving the shape of an object by simply wielding it,
even without seeing it. On the other hand, typical hand-held controllers for virtual reality (VR) …

For a given PDE problem, three main factors affect the accuracy of FEM solutions: basis
order, mesh resolution, and mesh element quality. The first two factors are easy to control …

During interaction with objects in Virtual Reality haptic feedback plays a crucial role for
creating convincing immersive experiences. Recent work building upon passive haptic …

Haptic feedback is widely used to enhance realism in virtual reality (VR). Shape and
softness are two common factors perceived by the users in the haptic rendering of soft …

Similarity estimation is essential for many game AI applications, from the procedural
generation of distinct assets to automated exploration with game-playing agents. While …

Soft (compliant) curvature-changing UIs provide haptic feedback through changes in
softness and curvature. Different softness can impact the deformation of UIs when worn and …

The stress relaxation behavior of barium titanate (BTO)‐elastomer (Ecoflex) composites, as
used in large strain sensors, is studied using the generalized Maxwell‐Wiechert model. In …

We present a method to design the deformation behavior of 3D printed models by an
interactive tool, where the variation of bending elasticity at different regions of a model is …
