Mobile Haptic Technology Development through Artistic Exploration
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates how artistic explorations can be useful for the development of mobile haptic technology. It presents an alternative framework of design for wearable haptics that contributes to the building of haptic communities outside specialized research contexts. The paper also presents our various wearable haptic systems for mobile computing capable of producing high-order tactile percepts. Our practice based approach suggests a design framework that can be applied to create advanced haptic stimulations/situations for physically embodied interaction in real-world settings.

Passages: An Artistic 3D Interface
“Passages” is an immersive, multimodal, user-controlled artistic interface. The installation consists of a 3D interactive virtual environment, stereoscopic projection screen, and a specialized haptic interface device (vibrotactile dataglove). Both the glove and the users’ glasses are tracked by a long-range Polhemus electromagnetic sensor in real time, allowing kinesthetic exploration of the vi...
متن کاملTowards human technology symbiosis in the haptic mode
Search and rescue operations are often undertaken in dark and noisy environments in which rescue teams must rely on haptic feedback for exploration and safe exit. However, little attention has been paid specifically to haptic sensitivity in such contexts or to the possibility of enhancing communicational proficiency in the haptic mode as a life-preserving measure. Here we discuss the design of ...
متن کاملDynamic Potential Fields for Dexterous Tactile Exploration
Haptic exploration of unknown objects is of great importance for acquiring multimodal object representations, which enable a humanoid robot to autonomously execute grasping and manipulation tasks. In this paper we present our ongoing work on tactile object exploration with an anthropomorphic five-finger robot hand. In particular we present a method for guiding the hand along the surface of an u...
متن کاملExploring Hand-Based Haptic Interfaces for Mobile Interaction Design
Visual attention is crucial in mobile environments, not only for staying aware of dynamic situations, but also for safety reasons. However, current mobile interaction design forces the user to focus on the visual interface of the handheld device, thus limiting the user’s ability to process visual information from their environment. In response to these issues, a common solution is to encode inf...
متن کاملHaptic terrain exploration with robotic arm
In search and rescue missions, the sensors on the Absolem mobile robot used in the TRADR project can fail due to environmental conditions like smoke and dust, making further robot operation difficult and dangerous for the robot. In such cases, the robot-mounted robotic arm can be used to gain information about the environment by obtaining tactile measurements from it. We propose an algorithm to...
