Many aspects of both grip function and tactile perception depend on complex frictional
interactions occurring in the contact zone of the finger pad, which is the subject of the current …

Mobile interaction can potentially be enhanced with well-designed haptic control and
display. However, advances have been limited by a vicious cycle whereby inadequate haptic …

In this article, we review the current technology underlying surface haptics that converts
passive touch surfaces to active ones (machine haptics), our perception of tactile stimuli …

Scrolling interactions are an important aspect of the design of usable touchscreen interfaces,
particularly for handheld devices that can only display a limited amount of information at …

Touch interactions have refreshed some of the 'glowing enthusiasm' of thirty years ago for
direct manipulation interfaces. However, today's touch technologies, whose interactions are …

The dynamics of fingertip contact manifest themselves in the complex skin movements observed
during the transition from a stuck state to a fully developed slip. While investigating this …

This paper describes an experimental platform for the study of stretch and compression of the
human fingerpad skin during tactile exploration. A digital camera records the sequence of …

When a progressive wave of localized deformations occurs tangentially on the fingerpad
skin, one typically experiences the illusion of a small object sliding on it. This effect was …

Using mRNA sequencing and de novo transcriptome assembly, we identified, cloned, and
characterized 9 previously undiscovered fluorescent protein (FP) homologs from Aequorea …

This article presents research on making schoolbook illustrations accessible for students
with visual impairment. The MaskGen system was developed to interactively transpose …
