Ultrasound system targets mouth to create virtual reality haptic effects

Posted on by Haptic

Lips are famously sensual but, together with the gums and tongue, they are also surprisingly sensitive, second only to the fingertips in nerve density. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have exploited this latter characteristic to devise a practical new way for people to receive tactile feedback in virtual worlds. Their system uses airborne ultrasound waves Read more about Ultrasound system targets mouth to create virtual reality haptic effects[…]

A new haptic displays that give players tactile feedback

Posted on by Haptic

A group of researchers at Osaka University developed a novel two-dimensional (2D) graphical tactile display to which one-dimensional (1D) adhesive information could be added by controlling adhesion of designated portions of the display surface. (Fig.1) Their research results were presented at SIGGRAPH ASIA 2019 Emerging Technologies, which was held in Australia from November 18 through Read more about A new haptic displays that give players tactile feedback[…]

A haptic glove allow users to feel tactile feedback when they interact with virtual reality environments

Posted on by Haptic

Engineers at UC San Diego are using soft robotics technology to make light, flexible gloves that allow users to feel tactile feedback when they interact with virtual reality environments.  The researchers used the gloves to realistically simulate the tactile feeling of playing a virtual piano keyboard. Engineers recently presented their research, which is still at Read more about A haptic glove allow users to feel tactile feedback when they interact with virtual reality environments[…]
