Research overview
This work explores a wearable encountered-type interface that combines thermal and kinesthetic feedback for Mars exploration in VR. The interface brings physical sensation into a virtual exploration experience.
Wearable thermal and kinesthetic feedback
How can wearable haptic interfaces make a remote world tangible?
My role in this research program
Built thermal haptic devices within the SCIGC research program on physically tangible virtual experiences.
Connection to my broader work
Building physical feedback systems led me to ask how much stimulation is needed for a convincing virtual experience.
