Rendering volumetric haptic shapes in mid-air using ultrasound:Proceedings of ACM SIGGRAPH Asia 2014 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We present a method for creating three-dimensional haptic shapes in mid-air using focused ultrasound. This approach applies the principles of acoustic radiation force, whereby the non-linear effects of sound produce forces on the skin which are strong ...

Infrared Optical Switch Using a Movable Liquid Droplet

open access: yesMicromachines, 2015
We report an infrared (IR) optical switch using a wedge-like cell. A glycerol droplet is placed in the cell and its surrounding is filled with silicone oil. The droplet has minimal surface area to volume (SA/V) ratio in the relaxing state.

Intelligibility of Haptic Signals in Vehicle Information Systems

open access: yesSensors, 2021
Objective: The purpose of this study was to verify changes in a driver’s emotions through the physical characteristics of haptic signals. This is to improve the performance of drivers by designing haptic signals with emotional semantics.

Haptic Interaction Techniques for Exploring Chart Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Haptic data visualization is a growing research area. It conveys information using the sense of touch which can help visually impaired people or be useful when other modalities are not available. However, as haptic devices and virtual worlds exhibit many

AiroTouch: enhancing telerobotic assembly through naturalistic haptic feedback of tool vibrations

open access: yesFrontiers in Robotics and AI
Teleoperation allows workers to safely control powerful construction machines; however, its primary reliance on visual feedback limits the operator’s efficiency in situations with stiff contact or poor visibility, hindering its use for assembly of pre ...

Evaluation of Soundboard Damping Variations on Physical and Perceptual Aspects of the Sound of a Steel-String Acoustic Guitar

open access: yesAcoustics
To make guitars with high sonic quality, it is essential to understand the relationship between the physical characteristics of the selected materials and the acoustic characteristics of the final instrument and how they will be perceived.

Tunable Focus Liquid Lens with Radial-Patterned Electrode

open access: yesMicromachines, 2015
A dielectric liquid lens is prepared based on our previous work. By optimizing the device structure, the liquid lens presents a converging focus with good resolution and changes its focal length over a broad range with a low driving voltage. For a liquid
