Abstract
The sense of touch offers interesting possibilities as a robust and ubiquitous communication channel. In this paper, we present OM, a tool that enables users to design subjective vibrotactile expressions associated with contextualised information relevant to them. OM consists of a pair of wrist-worn devices that can reproduce complex vibrotactile symbols and a companion editor smartphone app that allows users to create, customise and store personalised expressions. We studied OM in real-world contexts by allowing 13 participants to explore the functionalities of OM throughout their daily interactions with complete autonomy. We highlight relevant scenarios, design considerations, and future directions towards a tool that can help people unveil an alternative, ubiquitous and private communication system accessible to all.

Effect of Repulsive Positions on Haptic Feedback on Using a String-Based Device Virtual Objects Without a Real Tool
Virtual, Augmented and Mixed RealityAbstractVirtual reality (VR) is a growing field of research, which includes visual, auditory, and haptic feedback generation. Haptics, or the sense of touch, is one of the important factors in making a VR experience more realistic. A string-based haptic ...
SoEs: Attachable Augmented Haptic on Gaming Controller for Immersive Interaction
UIST '16 Adjunct: Adjunct Proceedings of the 29th Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and TechnologyWe present SoEs (Sword of Elements), an attachable augmented haptic device for enhancing gaming controller in the immersive first-person game. Generally, Player can easily receive visual and auditory feedback through head-mounted displays (HMD) and ...
Passive haptic learning for vibrotactile skin reading
ISWC '18: Proceedings of the 2018 ACM International Symposium on Wearable ComputersThis paper investigates the effects of using passive haptic learning to train the skill of comprehending text from vibrotactile patterns. The method of transmitting messages, skin-reading, is effective at conveying rich information but its active ...
