Human Computer Interaction

This paper explores how the IP stack and other networking protocols can be hosted on Linux-based VLC devices.

We introduce Power of 2 (Po2), a new haptic technology that augments illusive tactile sensations on gesture-based gameplays.

This work provides a method of wireless power transfer that uses the resonant modes of a metallic cavity to deliver power to a small dipole nearly anywhere within the structure.

We implemented a haptic vest that generates vibrotactile stimulation related to story content to augment story listening.

Here we explored intermanual apparent tactile motion—illusory movement between two hands—as a means to enrich such feedback.

In this paper, we present FeelSleeve, an interface that allows children to feel story events in their hands while they are reading on a mobile device.

We describe a low-complexity smart LED light bulb prototype that is based on existing consumer light bulbs and hence can be replicated without effort.

We have prototyped a compact, fluid-suspension, electromagnetically-rotated animatronic eye.

We explore 3D printing physical controls whose tactile response can be manipulated programmatically through pneumatic actuation.

We introduce Acoustruments: low-cost, passive, and powerless mechanisms, made from plastic, that can bring rich, tangible functionality to handheld devices.
