Soft and organic interfaces have been studied for soft robotics as alternatives for hard bodies toward real-world oriented interaction. These interfaces are generally called programmable matter - controlling objects in the real world - and they are now ...

Collaboration between computer graphics and multiple robots has attracted increasing attention in several areas. To preserve the seamless connection between them, the system needs to be able to accurately determine the position and state of the robots ...

Vibrotactile feedback provides immersive media experience. To facilitate the design of vibrotactile effects, an authoring system is essential. Soundtrack streamlined interfaces [Ryu and Choi 2008; Lee et al. 2009] were initially initially introduced to ...

We present HapticAid, a wearable system that enhances haptic sensations. The system consists of a wearable skin vibration sensor that is placed at the middle phalanx of a finger, a processor that processes haptic information, and a wrist-worn haptic ...

We present a 360° light field display to visualize 3D objects above the table-top screen, and provide a graspable and measurable virtual or augmented reality environment. The display is constructed by a spinning flat-plate deflected diffuser screen, a ...

We propose a physical interface called a "Bottomless Joystick" for mid-air interaction in this Virtual Reality era. A conventional joystick is suitable for desktop gaming, especially flight simulations. However, it cannot be used in mid-air because it ...

Emotion hacking virtual reality (EH-VR) system is an interactive system that hacks one's heartbeat and controls it to accelerate scary VR experience. The EH-VR system provides vibrotactile biofeedback, which resembles a heartbeat, from the floor. The ...

This paper presents an Electrovibration Pen (EV-Pen) which incorporates electrovibration into pen interactions. The EV-Pen not only exploits the advantages of conventional pen-based interactions but also provides a wide range of haptic feedback modes ...

We present a new method to render aerial images by aerosol-based fog screens. Conventional fog screens are easily affected by the air flow and their generator occupy large areas. In this study, we propose to add new tradeoffs between limited display ...

Creating digitals assets, especially surface textures is a tedious, and often unintuitive task. We built a fun to use, interactive projection-mapping system that aims to simplify this process.

Projection based augmented reality, which is a type of Spatial Augmented Reality (SAR), can directly apply augmentation to the real world by illumination projection. The use of a camera enables the target tracking and geometrical correction of the ...

For glass-free mixed reality (MR), mid-air imaging is a promising way of superimposing a virtual image onto a real object. This demonstration particularly focuses on MR systems that manipulate virtual images with real objects. When you move the real ...

The representation of texture is a major concern during fabrication and manufacturing in many industries. Thus, the approach for fabricating everyday objects and the digital expression of their textures before the fabrication process has become a ...

Accurate stylus tracking has been integrated in portable displays, which have numerous users currently, to realize drawing and writing applications on these displays. Nonetheless, for learning how to use such applications, users heavily rely on on-...

The age of social media and immersive technologies has created a growing need for processing detailed visual representations of ourselves as virtual and augmented reality is growing into the next generation platform for online communication, connecting ...
