TL;DR: In this article, an image capturing device is combined with a touch screen to generate a tactile map of an environment, which is then processed and used to correlate a point of user contact on the touch screen with a particular tactile sensation.

TL;DR: This article generates a foundational library of usable haptic vocabulary and does so with a methodology that allows ongoing additions to the library in a principled and effective way.

TL;DR: Human testing with individual actuators demonstrates that the broadband actuation can be easily perceived on the forearm, providing the basis for both the development of a wearable actuator array and its use in more extensive perception evaluation as described herein.

TL;DR: In this paper, a controller is configured to cause a signal to be coupled to the conductive surface such that a tactile sensation is perceived in a digit that slides on the insulation surface.

TL;DR: Tasbi is presented, a multisensory haptic wristband capable of delivering squeeze and vibrotactile feedback, and early explorations into Tasbi’s utility as a sensory substitution device for hand interactions, employing squeeze, vibration, and pseudo-haptic effects to render a highly believable virtual button.
