FEEL TECH Wear

FEEL TECH Wear is a system that facilitates haptic interactions while keeping most of the palm free, by presenting directional force through rotational skin-stretch distribution feedback to the wrist and providing texture sensation through vibration feedback to the fingertips. The hardware consists of four channels of rotational skin-stretch tactors at the wrist and vibration tactors at the thumb and index finger. Three applications have been realized: haptic feedback for virtual objects, haptic augmentation for real objects, and haptic guidance towards objects.
