PopTouch: A Submillimeter Thick Dynamically Reconfigured Haptic Interface with Pressable Buttons

Herbert Shea, Amir Firouzeh, Ayana Mizutani

The interactions with touchscreens rely heavily on vision: The virtual buttons and virtual sliders on a touchscreen provide no mechanical sense of the object they seek to represent. This work presents PopTouch: a 500 mu m thick flexible haptic display that ...

Reinforcement Learning and Hardware in the Loop for Localized Vibrotactile Feedback in Haptic Surfaces

Yves Perriard, Paolo Germano, Xiaotao Ren, Camilo Hernandez Mejia, Marc Michel Charles Favier

Touch is commonly used to mediate human-machine interactions, notably in the setting of Digital Musical Instruments (DMIs), where touch screens are prevalent. The lack of rich haptic feedback has an impact on the richness and quality of the interaction. Pi ...

The Dimension of the Body in Higher Education: Matrix of Meanings in Students’ Diaries

Simon Nessim Henein, Ramiro Tau

In this paper, we attempt to show some consequences of bringing the body back into higher education, through the use of performing arts in the curricular context of scientific programs. We start by arguing that dominant traditions in higher education repro ...

Brain network modulation in transradial amputee with finger perception restored through biomimetic intraneural stimulation

Silvestro Micera, Giacomo Valle, Fabrizio Vecchio

Introduction/aims The hand is a sophisticated tool which allows humans to interact with the external world mainly via the sense of touch. Previous evidences demonstrated that electrical stimulations of the nerve trunks governing the hand are able to restor ...

Sensorimotor processing in the rodent barrel cortex

Carl Petersen

Tactile sensory information from facial whiskers provides nocturnal tunnel-dwelling rodents, including mice and rats, with important spatial and textural information about their immediate surroundings. Whiskers are moved back and forth to scan the environm ...

Benchmarking Touchscreen Biometrics for Mobile Authentication

We study user interaction with touchscreens based on swipe gestures for personal authentication. This approach has been analyzed only recently in the last few years in a series of disconnected and limited works. We summarize those recent efforts and then c ...

Touch-Based System for Beat-to-Beat Impedance Cardiogram Acquisition and Hemodynamic Parameters Estimation

David Atienza Alonso, Srinivasan Murali, Francisco Javier Rincon Vallejos, Dionisije Sopic

Among all cardiovascular diseases, congestive heart failure (CHF) has a very high rate of hospitalization and mortality. In order to prevent hospitalization, there is a strong need to identify patients at risk of a CHF event by estimating a set of relevant ...

Voluntary self-touch increases body ownership

Olaf Blanke, Giulio Rognini, Polona Pozeg

Experimental manipulations of body ownership have indicated that multisensory integration is central to forming bodily self representation. Voluntary self touch is a unique multisensory situation involving corresponding motor, tactile and proprioceptive si ...

Safe Implementation of Embedded Software for a Portable Device Supporting Drug Administration

Giovanni De Micheli, Yann Thoma, Alena Simalatsar, Wenqi You Dubout

Poor adherence to medical regimen causes approximately 33% to 69% of medication-related hospitalizations and accounts for $100 billion in annual health care costs. In this paper we address the problem of unintentional non adherence, when patient fails to t ...

TOUCH: In-Memory Spatial Join by Hierarchical Data-Oriented Partitioning

Anastasia Ailamaki, Thomas Heinis, Farhan Tauheed

Efficient spatial joins are pivotal for many applications and particularly important for geographical information systems or for the simulation sciences where scientists work with spatial models. Past research has primarily focused on disk-based spatial jo ...

Tangles and Degenerate Tangles

Andres Jacinto Ruiz Vargas

We study some variants of Conway’s thrackle conjecture. A tangle is a graph drawn in the plane such that its edges are represented by continuous arcs, and any two edges share precisely one point, which is either a common endpoint or an interior point at wh ...

Multi-Finger Interactions with Papers on Augmented Tabletops

Pierre Dillenbourg, Frédéric Kaplan

Although many augmented tabletop systems have shown the potential and usability of finger-based interactions and paper-based interfaces, they have mainly dealt with each of them separately. In this paper, we introduce a novel method aimed to improve human ...
