A surface texture is perceived through both the sound and vibrations produced while being
explored by our fingers. Because of their common origin, both modalities have a strong …

Wearable haptic displays that relocate feedback away from the fingertip provide a much-
needed sense of touch to interactions in virtual reality, while also leaving the fingertip free …

Realistic display of tactile textures on touch screens is a big step forward for haptic
technology to reach a wide range of consumers utilizing electronic devices on a daily basis …

Moving a slider to set the music volume or control the air conditioning is a familiar task that
requires little attention. However, adjusting a virtual slider on a featureless touchscreen is …

The contact between the fingertip and an object is formed by a collection of micro-scale
junctions, which collectively constitute the real contact area. This real area of contact is only …

Friction modulation technology enables the creation of textural effects on flat haptic displays.
However, an intuitive and manageably small design space for construction of such haptic …

On a touch surface, providing a local vibrotactile feedback enables multiuser and multitouch
interactions. While the vibration propagation usually impedes this localization, we show in …

The use of a modern human-machine interface involves a large amount of possible
interactions. In order to allow users to navigate through a large number of available …

Ultrasonic surface-haptic touchscreens produce compelling tactile sensations directly on the
users' fingertips. The tactile sensations stem from the modulation of friction produced by …

We used broadband electroadhesion to reproduce the friction force profile measured as a
finger slid across a textured surface. In doing so, we were also able to reproduce with high …
