Touch can convey information such as shapes, boundaries, and spatial configurations in parallel with audio, easing the working-memory demands that arise with audio-only solutions. To leverage this strength on touchscreens, researchers have explored three main strategies: (1) physicalizing UI controls through hardware…

Modern touchscreens utilize capacitive sensing technology to enable precise and robust multi-touch interaction. However, the broader expressive potential of the human hand remains underutilized, since most existing methods directly filter out larger-area hand-screen contact. This paper introduces Magical Touch, an…

Despite advances in digitizing vision and hearing, touch still lacks an equivalent digital interface matching the fidelity of human perception. This gap limits the quality of digital tactile information and the realism of virtual experiences. Here, we introduce a step toward human-resolution haptics: a class of…

Grasping objects such as handles, mice, and phones plays a central role in human-machine interaction, yet the contact surfaces of the hand, despite their exquisite tactile sensitivity, are rarely exploited as channels for information transfer. Here, we introduce transdermal all-directional targeting (TADT), a…

Bidirectional haptic systems demand interfaces that combine sensing and actuation, enabling concurrent detection of tactile inputs and delivery of perceptually rich feedback across a broad frequency spectrum. However, most existing haptic technologies remain limited to simple tactile sensing or narrowband feedback…

Electrostatic actuation enables programmable tactile feedback on touchscreens by modulating finger–surface friction through an oscillating electric field. Previous studies have attributed this modulation to adhesion, where increased real contact area enhances friction. However, adhesion alone cannot explain the…

—Haptic feedback is essential for human–machine interaction, as it bridges physical and digital experiences and enables immersive engagement with virtual environments. However, current haptic devices are frequently tethered, lack portability and flexibility. They also have limited ability to deliver finegrained…

Flexible tactile displays have gained significant attention for their ability to deliver tactile feedback to users, complementing widely used visual displays and auditory output devices. However, previously reported tactile displays have limited spatial resolutions because they are mostly confined to centimeter-scale…

Touchscreens have become the dominant interface in consumer electronics, yet interactions with them remain primarily visual. Incorporating haptic feedback that simulates touch sensations could make these interactions more natural and intuitive. Electrostatic actuation, which modulates friction by attracting the finger…

Artificial limbs typically lack somatosensory receptors, limiting users’ access to haptic feedback about movement outcomes. However, indirect tactile signals generated during object interaction are transmitted to the body-limb interface and may serve as a haptic feedback source. This study investigates whether such…

We present SkinSpline, a body-attached skeleton-supported haptic interface that renders continuous skin deformation through physical interpolation of sparse mechanical actuation. SkinSpline combines a low-resolution array of rack-and-pinion linear actuators with an elastic interlocking skeleton that transforms discrete…

For decades, molecular visualization software has been fundamental to education and research in chemistry, structural biology, and materials science. These tools have enabled the inspection of structures, dynamics, and interactions, yet their reliance on two-dimensional (2D) interfaces imposes persistent limitations.…

Human skin, the body’s largest organ, plays a vital role in sensing and transmitting neuronal, mechanical, and biochemical signals, making it an essential non-invasive interface for health monitoring, rehabilitation, and human-machine interaction. However, aging-related changes, including thinning, increased wrinkling…
