Encoding Data through Cutaneous Force-based Encountered-Type Fingertip Haptics Haptixel: Encoding Data through Cutaneous Force-based Encountered-Type Fingertip Haptics Data visualization benefits from non-visual cues to enable people to understand information by engaging with it through multimodality, yet most approaches rely on cumbersome technologies or large scale artifacts, making them difficult to adapt to dynamic or complex datasets. In this paper, we explore the use of cutaneous haptics as a lightweight quantitative channel for visualization tasks, allowing users to feel data and…
