In the last decade, several new haptic devices have been developed, contributing to the
definition of more realistic virtual environments. An overview of this topic requires a …

In the last two decades, the design of pseudo-haptics as a haptic presentation method that
does not require a mechanical feedback device has been proposed in various research …

Providing users with a haptic sensation of the hardness and softness of objects in virtual
reality is an open challenge. While physical props and haptic devices help, their haptic …

Experiencing virtual environments is often limited to abstract interactions with objects.
Physical proxies allow users to feel virtual objects, but are often inaccessible. We present …

Pseudo-haptic techniques are becoming increasingly popular in human-computer
interaction. They replicate haptic sensations by leveraging primarily visual feedback rather …

To mimicking fingers perceiving the physical world, researchers developed tactile devices to
establish a correlation between real and virtual world. This study proposed a new finger …

Virtual reality technology and immersive virtual environments often support realistic hand
representations via hand-posture-sensing controllers or hand tracking for natural hand …

Informative and realistic haptic feedback significantly enhances virtual reality (VR)
manipulation. In particular, vibrotactile feedback (VF) can deliver diverse haptic sensations …

The prompt and robust detection of tactile information is a relevant and challenging problem,
and a considerable research effort is, thus, being put into innovative transduction methods …

Rendering realistic tactile sensations of virtual objects remains a challenge in VR. While
haptic interfaces have advanced, particularly with phased arrays, their ability to create …
