The Haptic Wave [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 2016 CHI Conference Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2016
We demonstrate the Haptic Wave, a device that allows audio engineers with visual impairments to "feel" the am- plitude of sound, gaining salient information that sighted engineers get through visual waveforms. The demo will allow visitors, sighted or visually-impaired, to sweep back- wards and forwards through audio recordings (snippets of pop songs ...

The ultimate haptic device: First step [PDF]

open access: yesWorld Haptics 2009 - Third Joint EuroHaptics conference and Symposium on Haptic Interfaces for Virtual Environment and Teleoperator Systems, 2009
We describe a single-axis haptic interface which is based on a dual-stage actuator technique and which is aimed at achieving perfect transparency to a human user. The paper shows how all parasitic forces arising from inertia and friction can be brought below human detection thresholds, yet, the system is able to output significant torque.

Fluid-structure interaction-based biomechanical perception model for tactile sensing. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The reproduced tactile sensation of haptic interfaces usually selectively reproduces a certain object attribute, such as the object's material reflected by vibration and its surface shape by a pneumatic nozzle array. Tactile biomechanics investigates the

Fabrication Routes for Ionic Conducting Fiber Strain Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Ionic conducting fiber strain sensors (ICFSs) offer compliant, textile‐integrable sensing. Thus far, the commercialization of ICFSs has been constrained by fiber fabrication routes. This review provides a fabrication‐centric analysis of ICFSs correlating processing strategies with material properties and scalability.

Haptic display for virtual reality: progress and challenges

open access: yesVirtual Reality & Intelligent Hardware, 2019
Immersion, interaction, and imagination are three features of virtual reality (VR). Existing VR systems possess fairly realistic visual and auditory feedbacks, and however, are poor with haptic feedback, by means of which human can perceive the physical ...

Elastic–Plastic Modeling and Experimental Characterization of Granular Jamming Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Granular jamming enables rapid switching between soft and rigid mechanical states. Here, a reduced‐order elastic‐perfectly‐plastic beam framework captures pressure‐dependent loading, unloading, residual deformation, and hysteresis in jammed beams, while matching three‐point bending experiments across materials and geometries. The framework links design
