Abstract: Touching a real object with your fingertip provides simultaneous tactile and force feedback, yet most haptic interfaces for virtual environments can convey only one of these two essential modalities. To address this opportunity, we designed, prototyped, and evaluated the Touch Thimble, a new fingertip device that provides the user with the cutaneous sensation of making and breaking contact with virtual surfaces. Designed to attach to the endpoint of an impedance-type haptic interface like a SensAble Phantom, t… Show more

“…Moreover, cutaneous feedback provides an effective and elegant way to simplify the design of this type of haptic interfaces: cutaneous receptors' very low activation thresholds [2] enable researchers to design small, lightweight and inexpensive cutaneous haptic interfaces [3], [4], [5]. Finally, cutaneous feedback has been also proven to play a key role in enhancing the performance and effectiveness of teleoperation and immersive systems [6], [7], [8], [9], [10].…”

“…4), it uses three servo motors and can render higher forces at the fingertip. The idea of providing realistic cutaneous sensations while using haptic interfaces has been also discussed in [16]. However, the thimble there presented was only able to provide the cutaneous sensation of making and breaking contact with virtual surfaces.…”

“…When a contact occurs in the simulation, the finger cap enters in contact with the fingertip. Similar systems were proposed later on by Kuchenbecker et al (2004Kuchenbecker et al ( , 2008 and Gonzalez et al (2015). These devices can generate contact feedback anywhere on the fingertip.…”
