Investigating Passive Presentation Paradigms to Approximate Active Haptic Palpation
Investigating Passive Presentation Paradigms to Approximate Active Haptic Palpation

We explored how passive users can perceive active palpation tasks via synchronized visual/haptic feedback from a robotic platform. While passive conditions showed slight decreases in perceptual acuity, many participants reported strong ownership/kinesthetic illusions, suggesting potential for immersive "passive immersion" in hands-on experiences.

Haptic Acuity during Shared Grasp Experiences in Virtual Reality
Haptic Acuity during Shared Grasp Experiences in Virtual Reality

In this study, we proposed a novel system that records and plays back VR experiences using the WEART TouchDIVER haptic glove, which provides localized 1 DOF force, vibration, and temperature feedback to each fingertip.

Exploring passive presentation strategies for improved interpretation of haptic replay experiences
Exploring passive presentation strategies for improved interpretation of haptic replay experiences

In this study, we explore a range of passive presentations for the possible improvement of passive perception of haptic information to be used in haptic replay.
