Haptics

We extend the potential for immersion along these dimensions with the Force Jacket, a novel array of pneumatically-actuated airbags and force sensors that provide precisely directed force and high-frequency vibrations to the upper body.

In this paper, we explore intermanual apparent tactile motion without any object between them.

Do we feel colors? Visual perception is the key to creating realism and surrounding environments in virtual and mixed reality settings.

Tactile effects are created using directable water jets that spray onto the rear of a flexible screen, with different nozzles for different firework effects.

We create a solution for multi-user interactions in AR/MR, where a group can share the same augmented environment with any computer generated (CG) asset and interact in a shared story sequence through a third-person POV.

We demonstrate applications of a new actuator, the Haplug, in dynamic virtual environments.

We present a VR360° video player with haptic feedback playback.

We introduce the tactile animation object, a directly manipulated phantom tactile sensation.
