Haptic feedback in tactile displays has emerged as a crucial technology in bridging the gap between virtual and tangible experiences. By modulating friction through techniques such as electrovibration ...

Futuristic pixel-raising display lets you feel what’s onscreen Could you imagine being able to "feel" the images on your screen? UCSB researchers have made this sci-fi-like idea a reality. They've ...

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have invented a display technology for on-screen graphics that are both visible and haptic, meaning they can be felt via touch. The screens are patterned with tiny ...

Haptic (literally "touch") feedback has certainly improved in recent years, but what we really need is a level of tactile response that actually feels like you're typing, where instead of your fingers ...

Researchers have developed an ultrathin electronic tattoo capable of reproducing the localized sensation of touch in its wearer. The device has the potential to be used to manufacture lightweight, ...

The tactile device is thin, flexible, and has 25 stimulation generating points within a 2 cm × 2 cm area. To achieve wearable, to install the driving circuit close to the device, we use high voltage ...

HD Rumble on the Nintendo Switch may have been a simple pleasure, but it’s hard to say it wasn’t a compelling one. Despite being a solid object, the Joy-Cons vibration motors are able to simulate the ...
