MetaReality: enhancing tactile experiences using actuated 3D-printed metamaterials in Virtual Reality by Martin Feick, Martin Feick, Donald Degraen, Donald Degraen, Fabian Hupperich, Fabian Hupperich, Antonio Krüger, Antonio Krüger

“…In a second study, we focused on two metamaterial patterns showing promise for roughness perception and investigated their visuo-haptic perception in Virtual Reality. Here, eight different compression states of our two selected metamaterials were overlaid with six visual material textures. …”

Major Stress-Related Symptoms During the Lockdown: A Study by the Italian Society of Psychophysiology and Cognitive Neuroscience by Sara Invitto, Daniele Romano, Francesca Garbarini, Valentina Bruno, Cosimo Urgesi, Giuseppe Curcio, Alberto Grasso, Maria Concetta Pellicciari, Giacomo Koch, Giacomo Koch, Viviana Betti, Viviana Betti, Mirta Fiorio, Emiliano Ricciardi, Marina de Tommaso, Massimiliano Valeriani

“…Subjects were asked to fill out a survey, that traced a line identifying the most relevant psychophysiological symptoms that took into account factors such as perceived stress, body perception, perceived pain, quality of sleep, perceptive variations (i.e., olfactory, gustatory, visual, acoustic, and haptic perception). A network approach formulating a hypothesis-generating exploratory analysis was adopted. …”

Can the feel of the haptic interaction modify a user's emotional state by Gatti, E, Caruso, G, Bordegoni, M, Spence, C

“…Haptic perception constitutes an important component of our everyday interaction with many products. …”

Digital haptics improve speed of visual search performance in a dual-task setting by Ruxandra I. Tivadar, Rebecca C. Arnold, Nora Turoman, Jean-François Knebel, Micah M. Murray

“…Here, we provide a proof-of-concept for the effectiveness of digital haptic technologies (hereafter digital haptics), which use ultrasonic vibrations on a tablet screen to render haptic perceptions. Healthy human participants (N = 25) completed a divided-attention paradigm. …”

Characterization of 2D precision and accuracy for combined visual-haptic localization by Madeline Fischer, Umberto Saetti, Martine Godfroy-Cooper, Douglas Fischer

“…Results of the study revealed that the visual and haptic perceptive fields are characterized differently in terms of localization performance, providing important considerations for the transformation of each sensory modality when combining cues into a unified percept. …”
