HaptiCoil: Soft Programmable Buttons with Hydraulically Coupled Haptic Feedback and Sensing

We present HaptiCoil, an embedded system and interaction method for prototyping low-cost, compact, and customizable wide bandwidth (1-500 Hz) soft haptic buttons. HaptiCoil devices are built using mass-produced, waterproof planar micro-speakers which are adapted to direct energy to the skin using a novel hydraulic cou…
