Abstract

We demonstrate an ultrasound haptic-based mid-air thermo-tactile display system, designed as a proof-of-concept with an open-top chamber, heat modules, and an ultrasound haptic display. Our method involves directing heated airflow toward the focused pressure point produced by the ultrasound display, delivering thermal and tactile cues in mid-air simultaneously. We showcase our system across four different VR environments—campfire, water fountain, kitchen, and candle—to illustrate the rich user experiences that result from integrating thermal and tactile feedback.
