A groundbreaking development by City University of Hong Kong and other Chinese institutes is set to change the way we interact with immersive digital environments. The team, led by Professor Xinge Yu, ...

Haptic interfaces are advanced systems that enable users to experience tactile feedback through simulated forces and motion, thereby bridging the gap between virtual environments and physical ...

Haptic interfaces integrated with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are increasingly central to exploring sensorimotor processes and brain function under realistic conditions. These devices ...

Enhancing the virtual experience with the touch sensation has become a hot topic, but today’s haptic devices remain typically bulky and tangled with wires. A team led by the City University of Hong ...

In virtual reality there is much to be seen, but most of our other senses are left wanting. Ever since the concept gathered mainstream attention in the 1990s, it’s been primarily experienced through ...

Mentor: Eric Hodgson, Ph.D. In recent years, virtual reality (VR) has become increasingly prominent in fields such as gaming, education, healthcare, and entertainment. While advancements in VR ...

Virtual reality (VR) has been on the precipice of transforming how we interact with our worlds through technology for years. However, so far the haptic systems used in VR haven't managed to provide a ...

ATLAS PhD student, Purnendu, presented research at the recent IEEE World Haptics Conference in Delft, Netherlands. Haptics is the science of touch, and this gathering is billed as “the premier ...

When it comes to haptic feedback, most technologies are limited to simple vibrations. But our skin is loaded with tiny sensors that detect pressure, vibration, stretching and more. Now, Northwestern ...

Wearable exoskeletal technology remains a challenging task despite advances in sensing, actuation and fabrication techniques. It can be used in the military for strength augmentation, the medical ...

Now that we have decent VR goggles, the world is more desperate than ever for a decent haptic interface for interacting with computers. We might be seeing a new leap forward in this wild new haptic ...

Cirrus Logic Inc. is bringing its expertise in consumer and smartphone haptics to automotive applications with its new family of closed-loop haptic drivers. The CS40L51, CS40L52, and CS40L53 devices ...
