Various psychophysical methods have been used to study human haptic perception,
although the selection of a particular method is often based on convention, rather than an …

We present an investigation of mechanically-actuated hand-held controllers that render the
shape of virtual objects through physical shape displacement, enabling users to feel 3D …

We present a new technology for enhancing touch interfaces with tactile feedback. The
proposed technology is based on the electrovibration principle, does not use any moving …

Tactile Brush is an algorithm that produces smooth, two-dimensional tactile moving strokes
with varying frequency, intensity, velocity and direction of motion. The design of the …

This paper presents a study of finger-based text entry for mobile devices with touchscreens.
Many devices are now coming to market that have no physical keyboards (the Apple iPhone …

Little is known about how culture affects users' perceptions and beliefs after they have
adopted an information technology (IT). This study constructed and verified a research …

We present a study investigating the use of vibrotactile feedback for touch-screen keyboards
on PDAs. Such key-boards are hard to use when mobile as keys are very small. We …

Augmented Reality (AR) applications are becoming more mainstream, with successful
examples in the mobile environment like Pokemon GO. Current malicious techniques can …

Rendering forces to the user is one of the main goals of haptic technology. While most force-
feedback interfaces are robotic manipulators, attached to a fixed frame and designed to …

This article is the first of a two-part series intended as an introduction to haptic interfaces.
Together they provide a general introduction to haptic interfaces, their construction, and …
