Haptic Notification and Guidance of Human Motion and Responses
SPIN research in haptic notification and movement guidance spans a number of different project arches, as seen through associated publications.
Handheld Haptics - Untethered Forces
Inspired by needs for haptic support of large motions on a surface (in embodied conceptual learning, commercial design, and 2D virtual / augmented reality), we present the ballpoint drive. This novel approach circumvents conventional constraints by imposing a new one: motion restricted to rolling on an arbitrary two dimensional surface, and grounding forces generated through friction.
Supporting Haptic Communities of Practice
Creating a community for experienced hapticians and newcomers to learn, share, and explore haptic resources and projects, and investigating the challenges involved in haptic experience design for both newcomers and experienced hapticians.
Macaron: An Online, Open-source Vibrotactile Editor
Macaron is a free, open-source, online haptic editor. Designed to be an easy-to-use tool for anyone working with haptics, it is a platform for experimenting with new haptic design features and has helped us understand how examples aid the haptic design process.
Exploring Presentation Timing Through Haptic Notifications
A wearable haptic notification system for speakers and session chairs.
Radiology interaction
Radiologists use 30-year-old technology to interact with cutting-edge diagnostic imagery. We studied their problem and looked at the ways haptic feedback could be used to improve it.
