UIST '25Honorable MentionElectrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) +1

eTactileKit: A Toolkit for Design Exploration and Rapid Prototyping of Electro-Tactile Interfaces

Electro-tactile interfaces are becoming increasingly popular due to their unique advantages, such as delivering fast and localised tactile response, thin and flexible form factors, and the potential to create novel tactile experiences. However, insights from a formative study with typical designers highlighted the lac…

Buoyancé: Reeling Helium-Inflated Balloons with Mobile Robots on the Ground for Mid-Air Tangible Display, Interaction, and Assembly

We introduce a novel approach to spatially actuated tangible UI by controlling helium-inflated balloons (HIBs) in mid-air using mobile reeling robots, named ReelBots. With a relatively compact device form factor, the robots can manipulate HIBs in an extensive vertical range, reaching relatively high altitudes (20m or…

Integrating Force Sensing with Electro-Tactile Feedback in 3D Printed Haptic Interfaces

Tactile feedback mechanisms enhance the user experience of modern wearables by stimulating the sense of touch and enabling intuitive interactions. Electro-tactile stimulation-based tactile interfaces stand out due to their compact form factor and ability to deliver localized tactile sensations. Integrating force sensi…

ALCool: Utilizing Alcohol's Evaporative Cooling for Ubiquitous Cold Sensation Feedback

Tactile technologies are important for novel user experiences. Among several tactile submodalities, cold sensation is essential for realistically portraying materials and environments. However, current cold presentations such as Peltier devices face challenges like low energy efficiency and the need for complicated…

VabricBeads : Variable Stiffness Structured Fabric using Artificial Muscle in Woven Beads

Woven beads, a structured fabric category, comprises interconnected rows of beads joined by fiber strands. While the stiffness of woven beads can be adjusted by relying on fiber tension during fabrication, the resulting shape and stiffness properties remain fixed. This study explores the potential of tunable shape and…

Limitations of Audiovisual Speech on Robots for Second Language Pronunciation Learning

The perception of audiovisual speech plays an important role in infants' first language acquisition and continues to be important for language understanding beyond infancy. Beyond that, the perception of speech and congruent lip motion supports language understanding for adults, and it has been suggested that second l…

Increasing Electrical Muscle Stimulation’s Dexterity by means of Back of the Hand Actuation

We propose a technique that allows an unprecedented level of dexterity in electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), i.e., it allows interactive EMS-based devices to flex the user’s fingers independently of each other. EMS is a promising technique for force feedback because of its small form factor when compared to mechani…

Double-sided Printed Tactile Display with Electro Stimuli and Electrostatic Forces and its Assessment

Humans can perceive tactile sensation through multimodal stimuli. To demonstrate realistic pseudo tactile sensation for the users, a tactile display is needed that can provide multiple tactile stimuli. In this paper, we have explicated a novel printed tactile display that can provide both the electrical stimulus and t…
