We present a finger-mounted 4-degree-of-freedom (DoF) haptic device created using origami fabrication techniques. The 4-DoF device uses a parallel kinematic mechanism and is capable of delivering normal, shear, and torsional haptic feedback to the fingertip. Traditional methods of robot fabrication
As the field of haptics in virtual reality expands, wearable devices are being explored as alternatives to traditional kinesthetic force feedback devices, which are often limited in workspace. Skin deformation feedback offers a user-grounded feedback modality that mimics cutaneous interactions with…
Virtual and augmented reality systems that immerse users in a 3D environment could benefit from haptic (force and/or tactile) feedback to increase realism and task performance. A canonical task that cannot be achieved compellingly without haptic feedback is the grasp and lift of an object with mass.
