Abstract

In this paper we introduce Super Cilia Skin, a new approach for integrating haptic and visual communication. Super Cilia Skin is conceived as a computationally enhanced membrane coupling tactile input with tactile and visual output. We present the design of our prototype, an array of individual actuators (cilia) that use changes in orientation to display images or physical gestures. We discuss ongoing research to develop tactile input capabilities and we present examples of how it can enrich interpersonal communication and children's learning.

Skin Drag Displays: Dragging a Physical Tactor across the User's Skin Produces a Stronger Tactile Stimulus than Vibrotactile
CHI '15: Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

We propose a new type of tactile displays that drag a physical tactor across the skin in 2D. We call this skin drag. We demonstrate how this allows us to communicate geometric shapes or characters to users. The main benefit of our approach is that it ...
Virtual Super-Leaping: Immersive Extreme Jumping in VR
AH2019: Proceedings of the 10th Augmented Human International Conference 2019

People sometimes imagine and yearn for a "Super Power," an ability they do not have naturally. In this paper, we propose Virtual Super-Leaping (VSL) as an immersive virtual experience that provides the feeling of extreme jumping in the sky. First, we ...
Bridging the Gap between Virtual and Real World by Bringing an Interpersonal Haptic Communication System in Second Life
ISM '10: Proceedings of the 2010 IEEE International Symposium on Multimedia

The sense of touch has much importance in technology-mediated human emotion communication and interaction. Many researchers around the world are aiming to leverage the sense of touch in the communication medium between multi-user 3D virtual world and ...
