Gravity grabber: wearable haptic display to present virtual mass sensation
TLDR
We propose a wearable haptic display to present the weight sensation of a virtual object, which is based on our novel insight that the deformation on fingerpads makes a reliable weight sensation even when the proprioceptive sensation is absent. Expand

ThermoVR: Exploring Integrated Thermal Haptic Feedback with Head Mounted Displays
TLDR
In ThermoVR, we integrated five thermal feedback modules on the HMD to provide thermal feedback directly onto the user's face. Expand

FrontFace: facilitating communication between HMD users and outsiders using front-facing-screen HMDs
TLDR
We present FrontFace, which is a novel HMD that combines an eye-tracker with a front-facing screen, to lower the communication barrier between HMD users and outsiders. Expand

Fusion: full body surrogacy for collaborative communication
TLDR
Fusion enables body surrogacy by sharing the same point of view of two-person: a surrogate and an operator, and it extends the limbs mobility and actions of the operator using two robotic arms mounted on the surrogate body. Expand

Simplified design of haptic display by extending one-point kinesthetic feedback to multipoint tactile feedback
TLDR
For designing a simple and more realistic haptic feedback system, we propose integrating an underactuated mechanism with one-point kinesthetic feedback from the arm with multipoint tactile feedback. Expand
