Geometric Haptic: Exploring Perceivable Shape through Mid-Air Haptic Feedback
In this study, we explore the possibilities of mid-air haptic interfaces that use ultrasound technology to create sensations without physical touch. Our main goal is to understand how these touchless haptic feedback systems can be used for recognizing shapes and creating experiences in the air. Through experiments, we carefully study how users perceive, accuracy and their overall experience, with this cutting edge technology. Our initial results show that mid-air touch interfaces can be tools for enhancing experiences. This study has implications opening up possibilities in education and design approaches that promote inclusivity. We discuss the methods used in experiment designs and our early findings in detail contributing to the conversation about technology and its impact, on accessibility.
