A Wearable Pneumatic Device for Continuous, Closed-Loop, Bidirectional Tactile Interaction
Cosima du Pasquier, Aliyah Smith, Serin Huber +5
We present a system of two wearable pneumatic haptic devices that supports continuous, closed-loop, bidirectional tactile interaction at perceptually relevant force and temporal sc…
Miniaturized Pneumatic Actuator Array for Multipoint Deep Pressure Tactile Stimulation
Ava Chen, Megan C. Coram, Cosima du Pasquier +1
Wearable distributed tactile devices aim to provide multipoint touch stimuli, but struggle to provide sufficient forces (> 1 N) at frequencies to invoke deep pressure sensation wit…
Localization of Vibrotactile Stimuli on the Face
Shivani Guptasarma, Allison M. Okamura, Monroe Kennedy
The face remains relatively unexplored as a target region for haptic feedback, despite providing a considerable surface area consisting of highly sensitive skin. There are promisin…
Spatial Summation of Localized Pressure for Haptic Sensory Prostheses
Sreela Kodali, Cihualpilli Camino Cruz, Thomas C. Bulea +4
A host of medical conditions, including amputations, diabetes, stroke, and genetic disease, result in loss of touch sensation. Because most types of sensory loss have no pharmacolo…
