HAPTIC device simulates feel of walls, solid objects in virtual reality

Posted on Tuesday April 28th, 2020Tuesday April 28th, 2020 by Haptic

Today’s virtual reality systems can create immersive visual experiences, but seldom do they enable users to feel anything, particularly walls, appliances and furniture. A new device developed at Carnegie Mellon University, however, uses multiple strings attached to the hand and fingers to simulate the feel of obstacles and heavy objects. By locking the strings when Read more about HAPTIC device simulates feel of walls, solid objects in virtual reality[…]

Sensing a hug from your friend through a video call with him/her may become a reality soon. A joint-research team consisted of scientists and engineers from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) and Northwestern University in the United States has developed a skin-integrated virtual reality (VR) system, which can be controlled and powered wirelessly. The Read more about HAPTIC Technology will make you sensing a hug from your friend through a video call[…]

Haptic feedback through artificial skin to develop a fully wearable prototype

Posted on Friday September 27th, 2019Friday September 27th, 2019 by Haptic

Just like our senses of hearing and vision, our sense of touch plays an important role in how we perceive and interact with the world around us. And technology capable of replicating our sense of touch – also known as haptic feedback – can greatly enhance human-computer and human-robot interfaces for applications such as medical Read more about Haptic feedback through artificial skin to develop a fully wearable prototype[…]

An electronic skin (e-skin) with magnetosensitive capabilities

Posted on Thursday January 17th, 2019Thursday January 17th, 2019 by Haptic

While birds are able to naturally perceive the Earth’s magnetic field and use it for orientation, humans have so far not come close to replicate this feat – at least, until now. Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) in Germany have developed an electronic skin (e-skin) with magnetosensitive capabilities, sensitive enough to detect and digitize Read more about An electronic skin (e-skin) with magnetosensitive capabilities[…]

Exposure therapy in virtual reality

Posted on Tuesday October 30th, 2018 by Haptic

Arachnophobia is the technical term for the fear of spiders. Approximately 3.5 to 6.1 percent of the population suffer from this phobia. Exposure therapy is the most common form of treatment. However, 60 to 80 percent of arachnophobes do not receive any therapy because of a lack of services. Others simply cannot bear the terror Read more about Exposure therapy in virtual reality[…]

Industry 4.0: safety glasses off, data glasses on!
