Utility and Usability of Two Forms of Supplemental Vibrotactile Kinesthetic Feedback for Enhancing Movement Accuracy and Efficiency in Goal-Directed Reaching

open access: yesSensors, 2023
Recent advances in wearable sensors and computing have made possible the development of novel sensory augmentation technologies that promise to enhance human motor performance and quality of life in a wide range of applications. We compared the objective

Stretching the skin immediately enhances perceived stiffness and gradually enhances the predictive control of grip force

open access: yeseLife, 2020
When manipulating objects, we use kinesthetic and tactile information to form an internal representation of their mechanical properties for cognitive perception and for preventing their slippage using predictive control of grip force.

A classification scheme for multi-sensory augmented reality [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 2007 ACM symposium on Virtual reality software and technology, 2007
We present a new classification framework for describing augmented reality (AR) applications based on where the mixing of real and computer-generated stimuli takes place. In addition to "classical" visual AR techniques, such as optical-see-through and video-see-through AR, our framework encompasses AR directed at the other senses as well. This "axis of

Fairness issues in AI systems that augment sensory abilities [PDF]

open access: yesACM SIGACCESS Accessibility and Computing, 2020
Systems that augment sensory abilities are increasingly employing AI and machine learning (ML) approaches, with applications ranging from object recognition and scene description tools for blind users to sound awareness tools for Deaf users. However, unlike many other AI-enabled technologies, these systems provide information that is already available ...

Bridging a sensory gap between deaf and hearing people–A plea for a situated design approach to sensory augmentation

open access: yesFrontiers in Computer Science, 2022
Deaf and hearing people can encounter challenges when communicating with one another in everyday situations. Although problems in verbal communication are often seen as the main cause, such challenges may also result from sensory differences between deaf

Cell phone based balance trainer

open access: yesJournal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2012
Background In their current laboratory-based form, existing vibrotactile sensory augmentation technologies that provide cues of body motion are impractical for home-based rehabilitation use due to their size, weight, complexity, calibration procedures ...

Sensory-augmented computing: wearing the museum's guide [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Micro, 2001
Personal computers have not lived up to their name. Most machines sit on a desk and interact with users for only a small fraction of the day. Notebook computers have become smaller and faster, enabling mobility but the same staid user paradigm persists.

A Vibrotactile and Plantar Force Measurement-Based Biofeedback System: Paving the Way towards Wearable Balance-Improving Devices

open access: yesSensors, 2015
Although biofeedback systems have been used to improve balance with success, they were confined to hospital training applications. Little attempt has been made to investigate the use of in-shoe plantar force measurement and wireless technology to turn ...

Digitally embodied lifespan neurocognitive development and Tactile Internet: Transdisciplinary challenges and opportunities

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2023
Mechanisms underlying perceptual processing and inference undergo substantial changes across the lifespan. If utilized properly, technologies could support and buffer the relatively more limited neurocognitive functions in the still developing or aging ...

Contribution of Cervical Proprioception, Vision, and Vestibular Feedback on Reducing Dynamic Head–Trunk Orientation Error in the Yaw Direction

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
The contribution of cervical proprioception, vision, and vestibular feedback to the dynamic head–trunk orientation error in the yaw direction was investigated to further the understanding over the mechanism of coordination among different sensory ...
