Wearable haptics

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…

Wearable haptic technologies, known as wearable haptics, instantiate physical contacts with users, either to confirm actions or to communicate a surrounding information – over a worn-type interface. Two factors require to be addressed for their design: the body locus – a function of comfort and sensitivity, and the types of stimuli they provide.Wearable haptics have gained great popularity in the last decade, thanks to their effectiveness, ease of use, and variety of application scenarios.This paper provides a non-exhaustive review of…
