Haptic Feedback Control of a Smart Wheelchair [PDF]

Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2012
The haptic feedback, which is natural in assistive devices intended for visually impaired persons, has been only recently explored for people with motor disability. The aim of this work is to study its potential, particularly for assistance in the driving of powered wheelchairs. After a review of the literature for the previous related work, we present

Transducers Across Scales and Frequencies: A System‐Level Framework for Multiphysics Integration and Co‐Design

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Transducers convert physical signals into electrical and optical representations, yet each mechanism is bounded by intrinsic trade‐offs across bandwidth, sensitivity, speed, and energy. This review maps transduction mechanisms across physical scale and frequency, showing how heterogeneous integration and multiphysics co‐design transform isolated ...

Measuring the added value of haptic feedback [PDF]

2017 Ninth International Conference on Quality of Multimedia Experience (QoMEX), 2017
While there is an increased appreciation for integrating haptic feedback with audio-visual content, there is still a lack of understanding of how to quantify the added value of touch for a user's experience (UX) of multimedia content. Here we focus on three main concepts to measure this added value: UX, emotions, and expectations.
