Vibrotactile Rendering of Splashing Fluids

Dynamic simulation of splashing fluids

In this paper we describe a method for modeling the dynamic behavior of splashing fluids. The model simulates the behavior of a fluid when objects impact or float on its surface. The forces generated by the objects create waves and splashes on the surface of the fluid. To demonstrate the realism and limitations of the model, images from a computergenerated animation are presented and compared w...

Tactile Rendering: a Vibrotactile Approach

While moving a fingertip over a fine surface we experience a sensation that gives us an idea of the surfaces properties. A satisfactory simulation of this feeling is still an unsolved problem. In this paper we describe a rendering strategy based on vibrations which play an important role in the tactile exploration of fine surfaces. To produce appropriate excitation patterns we use an array of v...

Dynamic Simulation of Human Diving and Splashing Fluids

SUMMARY Physically based simulation of 10 meter platform dives from the initial stance of a human diver to the splash at water entry. A dynamic model and control system are used to generate the motion of the diver. The dynamics of incompressible fluids and particle systems are combined to produce the splash.

Perceptual Analysis of Vibrotactile Stimuli and Its Application to Vibrotactile Rendering of Music

Psychophysical Model for Vibrotactile Rendering in Mobile Devices

Vibrotactile rendering is one of the most popular means for improving the user interface of a mobile device, but the availability of related perceptual data that can aid vibrotactile effect design is not currently sufficient. The present paper reports data from a series of psychophysical studies designed to fill this gap. In Experiment I, we measured the absolute detection thresholds of sinusoi...
