This review paper discusses the role of haptics within virtual medical training applications,
particularly, where it can be used to aid a practitioner to learn and practice a task. The …

One of the main barriers to immersivity during object manipulation in virtual reality is the lack
of realistic haptic feedback. Our goal is to convey compelling interactions with virtual objects …

This paper explores the use of haptic feedback to teach an abstract motor skill that requires
recalling a sequence of forces. Participants are guided along a trajectory and are asked to …

The term “haptics” refers to the science of sensing and manipulation through touch. Multiple
disciplines such as biomechanics, psychophysics, robotics, neuroscience, and software …

Virtual reality systems would benefit from a compelling force sensory substitute when
workspace or stability limitations prevent the use of kinesthetic force feedback systems. We …

Ultrasound mid-air haptic technology provides a large space of design possibilities, as one
can modulate the ultrasound intensity in a continuous 3D space at a high speed over time …

A growing body of work on musical haptics focuses on vibrotactile feedback, while musical
applications of force feedback, though more than four decades old, are sparser. This paper …

During tool-mediated interactions with objects, we experience force and fingerpad skin
stretch resulting from shear forces caused by friction between the fingerpad skin and the …

Surgical simulators not only allow planning and training of complex procedures, but also
offer the ability to generate structured data for algorithm development, which may be applied …

During tool-mediated interaction with everyday objects, we experience kinesthetic forces
and tactile sensations in the form of vibration and skin deformation at the fingerpad …
