Superimposing Model-Based Multisensory Touch Sensations on Everyday Surfaces
Imagine running your fingers over a hard, rough, cool brick wall yet feeling a soft, smooth, warm surface like fur. Recent advancements in wearable haptic technologies are opening new possibilities for augmenting natural fingertip sensations with artificial tactile feedback. However, systematically overlaying surfaces—each evoking distinct sensations like roughness, softness, or warmth through stimulating the skin with a combination of vibration, pressure, and temperature signals—with artificial sensations remains a significant challenge. This complexity stems from our limited understanding of synthesizing multisensory tactile experiences with specific perceptual attributes and…
