报告题目/Title:

Wireless, Skin-Like Interfaces for Full Body Haptic Experiences

讲座摘要/Abstract:

Advanced, immersive systems for virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) promise to transform the way that we interact with computer-generated environments and, by extension, with one another.  Although audio-visual aspects of VR/AR hardware are increasingly well developed, a frontier, underexplored opportunity is in the development of interfaces that add spatio-temporally controlled physical sensations to the VR/AR experience, with the skin, beyond the fingertips, as the input interface.  This talk introduces a collection of foundational ideas that enable a unique, new class of technology for this purpose – thin, soft, lightweight sheets that embed wirelessly controlled arrays of millimeter-scale haptic actuators, capable of gently laminating onto the skin at nearly any region of the body and independently engaging distinct classes of mechanoreceptors. These systems qualitatively expand the VR/AR interface through complex patterns of physical sensory inputs, time-coordinated with visual and auditory cues.  Examples in social media, medicine, rehabilitation, gaming and navigation will be presented.
