ABSTRACT
We demonstrate a method for stimulating the fingertip with touchable electric arcs above a hover sensing input device. We built a hardware platform using a high-voltage resonant transformer for which we control the electric discharge to create in-air haptic feedback up to 4 mm in height, and combined this technology with infrared proximity sensing. Our method is a first step towards supporting novel in-air haptic experiences for hover input that does not require the user to wear haptic feedback stimulators.

Recommendations
Sparkle: Hover Feedback with Touchable Electric Arcs
CHI '17: Proceedings of the 2017 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsMany finger sensing input devices now support proximity input, enabling users to perform in-air gestures. While near-surface interactions increase the input vocabulary, they lack tactile feedback, making it hard for users to perform gestures or to know ...
Corona losses dependence from the conductor diameter
