The haptic modules have a pin, badge-like connector, and it can be freely attached on the conductive textile(Fig. 1(b)), enabling users to personally customize the experience to their own liking. This module can render variations of haptic feedback to the torso and all limbs of the body, and visualize representations using LED light patterns. We also designed a spatial computing experience(Fig. 1(c)) inspired by the perceptual phenomenon called synesthesia. The system provides an sensory blended experience in which the user walks around freely in real space. The user can interact with real and virtual environments, in a reality-overlapping way by wearing Synesthesia Wear.","PeriodicalId":170856,"journal":{"name":"SIGGRAPH Asia 2019 Emerging Technologies","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131140544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In previous studies, the superficial friction of an object is mainly controlled by ultrasonic vibration of an object to reduce the friction using the squeeze film effect or by static electricity to increase superficial friction. In contrast to these studies, our approach changes the friction remotely, thus no device is needed on the target surface. This allows the tactile display to be a large screen or disposable, which can be used as an intuitive touch panel in applications where hygiene is important, such as during surgery. Furthermore, changing the surface friction of three-dimensional objects of any shape is also considered as another application. In this system, the position of the fingertip is detected by a device (Xperia Touch) equipped with a projector and a fingertip detection sensor, and the ultrasound focus is changed according to the fingertip position in real time using AUTD. As a result, the feel of friction on the polystyrene foam is altered by the focused ultrasound. Various friction patterns can be presented according to the image of the projector.","PeriodicalId":170856,"journal":{"name":"SIGGRAPH Asia 2019 Emerging Technologies","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121672554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our contribution is a practical optical design that can be easily installed. We designed the arrangement of the MMAPs, mirror and light source to form a mid-air image by placing it on a flat and glossy surface. The advantage of our method is to erase unnecessary light and show beautiful mid-air image clearly by applying view angle control and polarization operating to the mid-air imaging system.

In a user study, participants were asked to adjust the position of the arms to land up to two drones, having only visual feedback, only tactile feedback or visual-tactile feedback. The experiment revealed that when the number of drones increases, tactile feedback plays a more important role in accurate landing and operator’s convenience. An important finding is that the best landing performance is achieved with the combination of tactile and visual feedback.

However, when the appearance of the virtual inclination becomes too significant, the absence of rotational force components applied to the body causes a feeling of incongruity. In this paper, we propose a novel technique to effectively manipulate the perception of inclination of a virtual walking surface using haptic cues to complement the rotational force components. Based on this approach, we developed a system to generate the rotational force components by loading a weight at the user’s back, which shifts when the configuration of virtual inclination changes.
