TU München: Person-to-Person interaction: A tactile sensing glove to get in touch Technische Universität München integrated a force measurement system into a wearable tactile sensing glove. The application areas enclose the interaction between two persons but also the manipulation of an object. [read more...] |

| Université d'Evry: Haptic actuators based on conducting polymer
The Universities of Cergy and Evry are jointly investigating on how electronically conducting polymer (ECP) may be used for new tactile display interfaces. The basic idea is to combine a polymer electrolyte and non conducting polymers into an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) architecture as a host matrix. [read more...] |

Université d'Evry: Thermal record and replay Thermal rendering can enhance the feeling of Presence in direct touch situations. For including this percept in the Person-to-Object scenario, first Université d'Evry had to find out how important thermal rendering is in distinguishing between different materials. Therefore, researchers at the Laboratoires Systèmes Complexes performed a study on multimodal perception and discrimination. The subject’s task was to identify seven different materials (Wood, Steel, Brass, Marble, Copper, Plexiglas and Aluminum). Thermal and visual cues were given – the first were presented as real material cubes the second as pictures (from these cubes) via computer display. [read more...] |
