Researchers at Stanford have developed technology to bring new dimensions to wearable haptic devices and better reflect the breadth of haptic interactions in our lives.
Researchers in Professor Zhenan Bao's group at Stanford University have developed a biomimetic soft electronic skin (e-skin) with multiple levels of biologically inspired patterning that can detect the direction of applied forces.
Researchers in Prof. Allison Okamura's laboratory have patented a small, simple tactile display that can automatically control both its surface geometry and its mechanical properties.
Stanford researchers have patented the "Wolverine," a mobile, wearable haptic device designed for simulating the grasping of rigid objects in virtual reality.
