Towards Incorporating Haptic Perception Induced by Artificial Haptic Stimuli in Information Design

Abstract

In ubiquitous network environment, computers play a significant role and can present everywhere in various entities. However, haptic feedback’s potential has not been effectively utilized in information and interaction design. This research explores one of a possible application of interaction design research, i.e. haptic data visualization (also called haptification). By implementing it into various application and scenario, we aim to extend the scope of our research to provide support to the elderly and physically impaired people.
