Virtual reality system with haptics integration
Virtual Reality (VR) is a multifaceted area with great potential from pure entertainment to scienti c research. Due to technological limitations, VR for the last thirty years has not really caught on since users were always left feeling dizzy and uncomfortable after a few minutes of using it. With …

From Waves to Touch: Advancing Ultrasound Haptics through Novel Modulation
Ultrasound-based mid-air contactless haptics have been an increasingly popular area of development in the past decade for their highly valuable applications in VR environments, automobile safety systems, surgical training environments, and public displays. While currently applied modulation …

Enhancing Situational Awareness Through Haptics Interaction In Virtual Environment Training Systmes
Virtual environment (VE) technology offers a viable training option for developing knowledge, skills and attitudes (KSA) within domains that have limited live training opportunities due to personnel safety and cost (e.g., live fire exercises). However, to ensure these VE training systems provide …

Virtual drilling haptics perception from auditory cues employing low-end haptic devices
Simulation-based training is being widely adopted in medical education because it allows exposing trainees to safe and controlled simulated scenarios otherwise impossible to reproduce in real life. Current advances in immersive technologies including those related to Virtual Reality (VR), and …

Come to Your Senses, Remember Belongings: A Pedagogy of Making, Memory and the Haptics of Home
… domestic effects. What evolves is the notion of haptics of home, sensuous memory and the residue of emotion rooted in tactile experience, supported by theorists Krasner and Fisher. I bring Kuhns memory work methodology into conversation with Kadar and Perreaults interrelated concept of auto/ …

Performance and Usability of Force Feedback and Auditory Substitutions in a Virtual Environment Manipulation Task
… of development platforms for the inclusion of haptics (the sense of touch) in virtual environments (VE). This thesis sought to investigate and develop a better understanding of whether or not haptics or sound substitutions improved manipulation performance or usability in VE applications. …

Examining the effects of embodiment on performance and learning of drilling actions using pseudo-haptics and standard computer equipment
… devices to simulate haptic cues. While pseudo-haptics presents an accessible and cost-effective alternative to haptic devices, no empirical data support the notion of coupling it with embodiment which is crucial for psychomotor skill development. This thesis explored the effect of embodiment, …

The effects of perceptual type and presentation mode in a visual location task
… 1. Is there a difference between Visuals and Haptics in a visual location task? 2. Is there a difference between multiple and linear imagery in a visual location task? 3. Is there an interaction between perceptual type and presentation mode in a visual location? 4. Is there a difference in the …

Examining the haptic prototyping process using a novel open source haptic creation tool
Haptics have advanced rapidly in the past decade and are increasingly used by AAA game developers. They are an essential way of delivering tactile information in everything from watches to theatre seats. Our research aims to improve how haptic effects can be prototyped and iterated on by …

Integrating Haptic Feedback into Mobile Location Based Services
Haptics is a feedback technology that takes advantage of the human sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations, and/or motions to a haptic-enabled device such as a mobile phone. Historically, human-computer interaction has been visual - text and images on the screen. Haptic feedback can be an …

A body-grounded kinesthetic haptic device for virtual reality
… to move and walk within a room. The portable haptics interface overcomes this limitation because its wearable form factor means it's "grounded" directly to a user's back, making it portable. In other words, this device approximates the sensations of a kinesthetic haptic device while also being …

When machines touch back : simulating-- and stimulating-- the most intimate of senses
… of touch, that became the de facto device for haptics research. The thesis recounts the story of Massie, his invention, and present and potential applications as varied as telesurgery and teledildonics. Along the way the thesis explores the science of touch and considers the implications of the …

Computer-assisted learning of Japanese kanji
… for a given kanji. Using OpenGL and the Open Haptics toolkit, the program allows the user to both see and feel the kanji. Using a PHANTOM haptic device, the user can trace the different strokes using a height map of the kanji or following arrows that show the direction and order of strokes.
