An Interpretable Deep Learning Framework for Material Perception and Classification from Multisensory Tactile Data
Li Zou, Dave Hogendoorn, Yasemin Vardar
Human tactile perception relies on complex multisensory cues. Yet the relationship between tactile signals and perceptual representations remains poorly understood, limiting the in…
Perceptually Lossless Tactile Texture Synthesis with Compact Spectral Envelope Models
Jagan K. Balasubramanian, Yasemin Vardar
Modern audio-visual media rely on compact representations for efficient storage and transmission, whereas realistic digital touch still depends on high-resolution tactile recording…
Learning to Feel Materials from Multisensory Tactile Data via Interpretable Models
Li Zou, Yasemin Vardar
Human tactile perception of materials relies on complex multisensory touch cues, yet the relationship between low-level tactile signals and perceptual representations remains poorl…
Why Modeling Human Haptic Material Perception with AI Is Difficult
Yasemin Vardar
Touch plays a central role in how humans perceive and recognize materials through physical contact. Despite decades of research, the mechanisms by which tactile signals are transfo…
Sliding Speed Influences Electrovibration-Induced Finger Friction Dynamics on Touchscreens
Jagan K Balasubramanian, Daan M Pool, Yasemin Vardar
Electrovibration technology enables tactile texture rendering on capacitive touchscreens by modulating friction between the finger and the screen through electrostatic attraction f…
FITS: Ensuring Safe and Effective Touchscreen Use in Moving Vehicles
Daan M. Pool, Yasemin Vardar
Touch interfaces are replacing physical buttons, dials, and switches in the new generation of cars, aircraft, and vessels. However, vehicle vibrations and accelerations perturb fin…
