Someone who is blind playing a first-person shoort video game using a haptic device

DualPanto is a haptic device that enables blind users to track moving objects while acting in a virtual world.

diagram of the project process: interviews with hapticians and a workshop on haptic experience design led to three themes

Haptic Experience Design (HaXD), the process of designing for touch, is extremely challenging but poorly understood. We interviewed professional hapticians to develop a first description of HaXD, identify critical barriers to design, and several recommendations for future support tools.

We examined how physiological signals can indicate people's anxiety and comfort levels when riding as passengers in autonomous vehicles.
