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, ...

Modern robotic surgery requires a complex and seamless integration of software, robots, haptics, communication infrastructure ...

Computers may soon let people sense the texture of objects or feel how they fit together thanks to a haptic, or touch-based interface, developed at Carnegie Mellon University. The device uses magnetic ...

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 ...

Depiction of the two degrees-of-freedom experimental protocols. (A) Human operator in the loop; (B) gravity-based test. In a breakthrough that propels haptic technology into new realms, a dual-rate ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

There’s just something about a satisfying “click” that our world of touchscreens misses out on; the only thing that might be better than a good solid “click” when you hit a button is if device could ...

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 ...

Smart Rings are still in their nascent stage and they are expected to be potential alternatives to smartwatches and fitness bands due to various reasons. There are only a few brands like Oura, ...
