Mid-air Pseudo-Haptics (2019)
Description：
A work exploring the theme of pseudo-haptics. Pseudo-haptics refers to a phenomenon in which visual information influences other sensory modalities — for example, when a mouse cursor moves more slowly than usual on a computer screen, one perceives the object as feeling "heavy." In this work, various values of Poisson's ratio (the ratio of lateral compression to longitudinal extension) were applied to visual stimuli in order to investigate how visual information affects the perception of tactile properties such as material softness. The result is a system capable of conveying, to a certain degree, the perceived texture of an object — without any physical contact.
