Abstract:
This project aims to enable cyber-‐physical systems that can be worn on the body in order to one day allow their users to touch, feel, and manipulate computationally simulated three-‐dimensional objects or digital data in physically realistic ways, using the whole hand. It will do this by precisely measuring touch and movement-‐induced displacements of the skin in the hand, and by reproducing these signals interactively, via new technologies to be developed in the project.
