Factors of Haptic Experience across Multiple Haptic Modalities
(University of Waterloo, 2022-12-08)Haptic Experience (HX) is a proposed set of quality criteria useful to haptics, with prior evidence for a 5-factor model with vibrotactile feedback. We report on an ongoing process of scale development to measure HX, and ... -
The Haptiverse: A Platform for Reuse of Haptic Content
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-23)Research into haptic technology has accelerated over the past decade, producing more devices and content than ever before. However, due to the innate diversity of its hardware and the sense of touch itself, existing haptic ... -
Measuring Haptic Experience: Evidence for the HX model through scale development
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-18)Haptic technology allows one to receive tactile information through the sense of touch. Increasingly, designers and researchers are employing haptic feedback with the aim to improve user experience (UX). While they see the ... -
Passenger Response to Driving Style in an Autonomous Vehicle
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-23)Despite rapid advancements in automated driving systems (ADS), current human-computer interaction research tends to focus more on the safety driver in lower level vehicles. The future of automated driving lies in higher ... -
RecHap: An Interactive Recommender System For Navigating Large Dataset of Mid-Air Haptic Designs
(University of Waterloo, 2022-12-13)Designing haptics is a difficult task especially when the user attempts to design a sensation from scratch for a novel experience. In the fields of visual and audio design, designers often use large example libraries for ... -
Tickle Trunk: a Toolkit for Communication and Brainstorming Between Hapticians and Non-Hapticians
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-25)This thesis introduces the Tickle Trunk, a haptic communication toolkit designed to support communication and brainstorming for haptic and tangible interaction design. Haptic technology is becoming increasingly popular in ... -
User-Defined Gestures with Physical Props in Virtual Reality
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-01)When building virtual reality (VR) environments, designers use physical props to improve immersion and realism. However, people may want to perform actions that would not be supported by physical objects, for example, ...
