TL;DR: The proposed technology is based on the electrovibration principle, does not use any moving parts and provides a wide range of tactile feedback sensations to fingers moving across a touch surface, which enables the design of a wide variety of interfaces that allow the user to feel virtual elements through touch.

TL;DR: In a series of experiments and evaluations, it is demonstrated that Tactile Brush is robust and can reliably generate a wide variety of moving tactile sensations for a broad range of applications.

TL;DR: The details of the AIREAL design and control, experimental evaluations of the device's performance, as well as an exploration of the application space of free air haptic displays are reported, believing that the results reported are generalizable and will inform the design of haptic shows based on alternative principles offree air tactile actuation.

TL;DR: A psychophysical model is established that relates the perceived friction force to the controlled voltage applied to the tactile feedback device, and it is demonstrated that participants are three times more likely to prefer gradient force profiles than other commonly used rendering profiles.

TL;DR: Applications for the visually impaired to interpret and create 2D tactile information based on TeslaTouch are demonstrated and the technology's potential in supporting communication among visually impaired individuals is discussed.
