The simple act of touching a real surface causes your finger to squish, bend, and vibrate in a myriad of ways depending on both the physical properties of the surface and your relative motion. We develop novel sensations for touch-based interactive displays by observing (1) the forces and kinematics evoked by touching these real surfaces and (2) resultant perceptual qualities of those interactions.

 

While our research spans several types of haptic displays, we apply similar knowledge of broadband actuation control and perceptually-informed experience design to develop novel sensations that broaden realism and usefulness of haptic interactions.
