While technology is making major strides in absorbing our eyes and ears in virtual worlds, it’s harder to engage senses like touch. Engineers at the City University of Hong Kong have now developed ...

Tactical Haptics has won a federal National Science Foundation grant to develop touch-feedback systems that deliver a realistic sense of touch in virtual reality. The Palo Alto, Calif.-based company ...

Haptic feedback technology continues to reshape the virtual reality (VR) landscape by providing users with a tangible sense of touch that augments immersive experiences. Through the integration of ...

Enhancing the virtual experience with the touch sensation has become a hot topic, but today's haptic devices remain typically bulky and tangled with wires. Researchers have now developed an advanced ...

Haptic holography promises to bring virtual reality to life, but a new study reveals a surprising physical obstacle that will need to be overcome. A research team at UC Santa Barbara has discovered a ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new hands-free approach to convey realistic haptic feedback in virtual reality (VR). Their 'multisensory pseudo-haptics' uses a combination of headset visuals and ...

How can haptic feedback, which uses vibrations to simulate real touch sensations, be improved to provide more accurate data to users? This is what a recent study published in Science hopes to address ...

When it comes to haptic feedback, most technologies are limited to simple vibrations. But our skin is loaded with tiny sensors that detect pressure, vibration, stretching and more. Now, Northwestern ...

At CES 2024 in Las Vegas, January 8-12, UK's Ultraleap used haptic techology to allow visitors to experience rain and sun through a virtual bonsai tree using AR and VR. Extended Reality (XR) is a high ...
