ABSTRACT
In this paper we describe Sprout I/O, a novel haptic interface for tactile and visual communication. Sprout I/O combines textiles and shape-memory alloys to create a soft and kinetic membrane with truly co-located input and output. We describe implementation details, the affordances made possible by the use of smart materials in human computer interaction and possible applications for this technology.

AoEs: enhancing teleportation experience in immersive environment with mid-air haptics
SIGGRAPH '17: ACM SIGGRAPH 2017 Emerging TechnologiesTo alleviate cybersickness in the immersive virtual reality (VR), teleportation is a common method of moving around in virtual spaces. Although users can receive the visual and auditory feedbacks from their first-person perspective with the advances of ...
A novel miniature kinaesthetic actuator based on magnetorheological fluids
EuroHaptics'12: Proceedings of the 2012 international conference on Haptics: perception, devices, mobility, and communication - Volume Part IIThis paper presents a miniature haptic actuator based on MR fluids, designed to convey realistic haptic information to users in portable electronic devices. Named as a kinaesthetic actuator, the proposed haptic actuator can convey various kinaesthetic ...
