My research centers around haptic technologies for interacting with simulated virtual environments, as well as the perception and human factors aspects surrounding these interactions. I firmly believe rich haptic experiences are essential to achieving the full potential of virtual reality as a tool for research, communication, industry, education and entertainment. I seek to understand how haptic perception shapes our subjective experience of the world and how the design of artificial haptics may transpose this subjective experience to immersive interactions. My research is rooted in the design and evaluation of novel hard- and software systems for including touch in interactions with virtual environments, but covers the spectrum from human haptic perception to haptics’ effects on human behavior and performance in VR.
