An Eyetracker Study of the Haptic Cuing of Visual Attention
We investigated the haptic cuing of visual attention using spatially-predictive (75% valid) and spatiallynonpredictive (25%) haptic cues. The participants performed a visual chang...

Design and Psychophysical Study of Volume Compression for Haptic Rendering
The paper specifies a novel coder/decoder that compresses sequences of 3D texture data to support the haptic rendering of animated volumes. Lossy compression gives 25% of the ori...

Finger Ring Tactile Interface Based on Propagating Elastic Waves on Human Fingers
We propose a new tactile device which measures several DOF vibrations propagating along the finger. The device can be used both as a tactile sensor and human-machine interface. In...

Time-Domain Passivity Control of Haptic Interfaces with Tunable Damping Hardware
We describe a time-domain passivity control methodology that uses programmable eddy current viscous dampers to prevent a user from extracting energy from a haptic interface. A pas...

Shaping Event-Based Haptic Transients Via an Improved Understanding of Real Contact Dynamics
Haptic interactions with stiff virtual surfaces feel more realistic when a short-duration transient is added to the spring force at contact. But how should this event-based transi...
