XR needs "mixed feelings": engineering haptic devices that work in both virtual and physical realities

Published: 06 October 2022 Publication History

Abstract

Haptic devices allow us to feel virtual worlds through touch and forces; yet they are incompatible with haptics present in our everyday life. This urges us to re-think how to engineer a wave of new haptic devices for extended reality.
