Abstract
Vibrotactile interaction is an essential source of HCI and should be on a large scale, such as room scale, whereas in the past many devices have been small. However, there is a practical difficulties for implementing vibrotactile actuators and sensors to every furnitures in the room. To address this problem, our approach, HaptoRoom, archives reconfigurable ubiquitous haptic interaction to existing furniture without additional equipment by installing actuators only in the floor. A user can design detailed spatial distribution of vibrotactile pattern, leveraging with multi-point individual control of actuators array inside floor interfaces.

WalkingVibe: Reducing Virtual Reality Sickness and Improving Realism while Walking in VR using Unobtrusive Head-mounted Vibrotactile Feedback
CHI '20: Proceedings of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsVirtual Reality (VR) sickness is common with symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and disorientation, and is a major barrier to using VR. We propose WalkingVibe, which applies unobtrusive vibrotactile feedback for VR walking experiences, and also reduces ...
Vibrotactile Experiences for Augmented Reality
MM '16: Proceedings of the 24th ACM international conference on MultimediaThis demo illustrates several use cases for utilizing vibrotactile feedback, i.e., tactile sensations created by small, body-worn vibration motors, in an augmented reality setting with head-mounted displays. In particular, we address how such feedback ...
