Affective Visualization in Virtual Reality Systems
A cluster of research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) suggests that it is possible to infer some characteristics of users’ mental states by analyzing their electrophysiological responses in real-time. However, it is unclear how to use the information extracted from electrophysiological signals …

PINS : a haptic computer interface system
… input and output device with haptic feedback for Human Computer Interaction (HCI). This expands upon the current research of table surfaces as medium for HCI by adding a third dimension that both a user and a computer can control. The use of vertical actuation makes possible new kinds of physical …
