“…Here, there are two points to note. First, we focus on haptic applications for entertainment purposes when people touch and feel something that they want to touch and feel, while there are three application categories: training, assistance, and entertainment [42]. Second, the result of this study is obtained from a Twitter user population which is skewed (see next Section 5.3).…”

Understanding what people want to touch in daily life has been one of the central topics in the fields of haptic science, engineering, and marketing. Several studies have addressed the topic, however, their findings were highly dependent on the experimental stimuli in the laboratory environment. In this study, we tried to gain insights into targets that people want to touch in daily life by conducting a Twitter survey. We collected a considerable amount of Japanese Twitter posts containing references to the desire for touch. To capture the motivation underlying these desires in relation to haptic properties, we used several queries that comprehensively covered exploratory procedures. The results showed that targets that people wanted to touch depended on the exploratory procedures in the queries used (e.g., "want to stroke" tended to target people and animals). We also found that these targets were desirable to touch not only for their haptic properties but also as a means of communicating with other people or living animals. Our findings would be important for understanding human haptic function in the real world and for developing consumer haptic displays and applications.

“…Previous reviews in this field focused on haptic devices [1], [4], [8], wearable haptic interfaces [9] including exoskeletons and gloves [8], [10], [11], touch surfaces [12], and applications of haptic devices [5], [8], [13], [14], with nearly all examined devices targeting parts of human arms and hands. Some of these reviews [1], [4], [9], [12], provide a background in the physiology of human sensory-motor control.…”

“…Traditionally, kinesthetic devices are able to provide clear forces or torques to move the user's hand or resist motion [4]. They are widely used in industry and medicine for teleoperation tasks and other tool-based applications, e.g., using manipulator hands and dental drills [5]. These devices typically provide the best approach for high-quality interactions, but suffer from limitations in terms of cost and portability.…”

Haptic Devices: Wearability-Based Taxonomy and Literature Review

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the last decade, several new haptic devices have been developed, contributing to the definition of more realistic virtual environments. An overview on this topic requires a description of the various technologies employed in building such devices, and of their application domains. This survey describes the current technology underlying haptic devices, based on the concept of "wearability level". More than 90 devices, newly developed and described in scientific papers published in the period 2010-2021, are reviewed, which provide either haptic illusions or novel haptic feedback for teleoperation, entertainment, training, education, guidance and notification. As a result, the analyzed systems are divided into grounded, hand-held and wearable devices; the latter are further split into exoskeletons and gloves, finger-worn devices, and arm-worn devices. For the systems in each of these categories, descriptions and tables are provided that analyze their structure, including device mass and employed actuators, their applications, and other characteristics such as type of haptic feedback and tactile illusions. The paper also provides an overview of devices worn in parts of the human body other than arms and hands, and precisely haptic vests, jackets and belts, and haptic devices for head, legs and feet. Based on this analysis, the survey also provides a discussion on research gaps and challenges, and potential future directions.INDEX TERMS haptic devices, virtual reality interfaces, kinesthetic feedback, tactile feedback, haptic illusions.
