Improving Wearable Haptics Through Measuring Vibrotactile Sensitivity 

Abstract Vibrotactile stimulation is becoming an increasingly integrated modality in multimedia experiences through wearable haptic devices in consumer products like smartwatches and VR controllers. Yet, their effectiveness is limited by our understanding of how users perceive vibrotactile feedback in real-world applications. Just as the advancements in haptic technology are crucial for improving fidelity, optimizing existing […] Read More about Improving Wearable Haptics Through Measuring Vibrotactile Sensitivity
