“…18c validates an interactive system of a virtual reality glove with stitched SMA textile actuators. By touching the contour of an object through three various actions, a dynamic feedback force of 0.8 ~ 0.4 N can be provided to the wearer at the sensing point within 5.2 ~ 20 s [81]. In Fig.…”

Smart wearables equipped with integrated flexible actuators possess the ability to autonomously respond and adapt to changes in the environment. Fibrous textiles have been recognised as promising platforms for integrating flexible actuators and wearables owing to their superior body compliance, lightweight nature, and programmable architectures. Various studies related to textile actuators in smart wearables have been recently reported. However, the review focusing on the advanced design of these textile actuator technologies for smart wearables is lacking. Herein, a timely and thorough review of the progress achieved in this field over the past five years is presented. This review focuses on the advanced design concepts for textile actuators in smart wearables, covering functional materials, innovative architecture configurations, external stimuli, and their applications in smart wearables. The primary aspects focus on actuating materials, formation techniques of textile architecture, actuating behaviour and performance metrics of textile actuators, various applications in smart wearables, and the design challenges for next-generation smart wearables. Ultimately, conclusive perspectives are highlighted. Graphical Abstract

“…While the experiments mentioned above were carried out for 2D displays, headmounted displays (HMDs), such as virtual reality (VR) devices, may benefit more from advanced controllers. Indeed, commercial VR systems now have their own special controllers that dominate use cases of entertainment, and digital gloves (also known as smart gloves or haptic gloves) are being investigated by the scientific community [54][55][56][57][58] and have emerged on the consumer market as well [59,60]. For light field visualization, such HCI solutions may be considered, yet the device-free nature of optical tracking may match the glasses-free nature of light field displays better.…”

Light field displays offer glasses-free 3D visualization, which means that multiple individuals may observe the same content simultaneously from a virtually infinite number of perspectives without the need of viewing devices. The practical utilization of such visualization systems include various passive and active use cases. In the case of the latter, users often engage with the utilized system via human–computer interaction. Beyond conventional controls and interfaces, it is also possible to use advanced solutions such as motion tracking, which may seem seamless and highly convenient when paired with glasses-free 3D visualization. However, such solutions may not necessarily outperform conventional controls, and their true potentials may fundamentally depend on the use case in which they are deployed. In this paper, we provide a review on the 3D interaction of light field displays. Our work takes into consideration the different requirements posed by passive and active use cases, discusses the numerous challenges, limitations and potentials, and proposes research initiatives that could progress the investigated field of science.
