Soft materials possess several distinctive characteristics, such as controllable deformation,
infinite degrees of freedom, and self‐assembly, which make them promising candidates for …

To provide immersive haptic experiences, proxy-based haptic feedback systems for virtual
reality (VR) face two central challenges:(1) similarity, and (2) colocation. While to solve …

Existing haptic actuators are often rigid and limited in their ability to replicate real-world
tactile sensations. We present a wearable haptic artificial muscle skin (HAMS) based on fully …

We present PaCaPa, a handheld device that renders haptics on a user's palm when the user
interacts with virtual objects using virtual tools such as a stick. PaCaPa is a cuboid device …

Haptic shape displays provide compelling touch interactions by allowing users to freely
explore a rendered surface. However, these displays are currently limited to 2.5-D surfaces …

Connecting digital information with the physical is one of the essential ideas of tangible user
interfaces. The design of the physical representation is important especially for specialised …

Virtual Reality experiences, such as games and simulations, typically support the usage of
bimanual controllers to interact with virtual objects. To recreate the haptic sensation of …

Virtual reality experiences via immersive optics and sound are becoming ubiquitous; there
are several consumer systems (eg, Oculus Rift and HTC Vive) now available with these …

Origami robots composed of rigid parts with flexible joints have inherent compliance that
enables deployment and reconfiguration for various shape adaptations. The major …

This study introduces" Flip-Pelt," a motor-driven peltier device designed to provide rapid
thermal stimulation and congruent pressure feedback in virtual reality (VR) environments …
