“…They also perceived the touch sensation of SansTouch realistic (i.e., similar to the real touch) and pleasant. This suggested that SansTouch can generate realistic touch sensations without inducing uncanny valley issues [31,44] or machine-like touch sensations [15].…”

“…They also highlighted the accessibility and the social acceptance of grabbing smartphones in public. Another alternative solution is to develop extensions that can be easily embedded (e.g., [35]) or plugged into an existing smartphone (e.g., [44,45]). Considering how widespread smartphones are and the potential demand for mobile mediated touch communication, this could be a valuable direction towards developing a new type of mobile devices.…”

“…Pretty Pelvis added a force feedback device to the interaction system to obtain the user's sitting posture, thus guiding the user to adjust their sitting posture promptly by interacting with virtual pets [23]. On top of this, MobiliMB presented a 5-degree-offreedom mechanical device to be installed at the bottom of the phone, giving the user limited force feedback of a virtual pet [24]. Metazoa Ludens allowed users to play with their pets together remotely in a mixed reality environment [25].…”

A Modular Haptic Agent System with Encountered-Type Active Interaction

Virtual agents are artificial intelligence systems that can interact with users in virtual reality (VR), providing users with companionship and entertainment. Virtual pets have become the most popular virtual agents due to their many benefits. However, haptic interaction with virtual pets involves two challenges: the rapid construction of various haptic proxies, and the design of agent-initiated active interaction. In this paper, we propose a modular haptic agent (MHA) prototype system, enabling the tactile simulation and encountered-type haptic interaction of common virtual pet agents through a modular design method and a haptic mapping method. Meanwhile, the MHA system with haptic interaction is actively initiated by the agents according to the user’s intention, which makes the virtual agents appear more autonomous and provides a better experience of human–agent interaction. Finally, we conduct three user studies to demonstrate that the MHA system has more advantages in terms of realism, interactivity, attraction, and raising user emotions. Overall, MHA is a system that can build multiple companion agents, provide active interaction and has the potential to quickly build diverse haptic agents for an intelligent and comfortable virtual world.

Current haptic feedback techniques on handheld devices are applied to the finger pad or the palm of the user. These state-of-the-art approaches are coarse-grained and tend to be intrusive, rather than subtle. In contrast, we present a new feedback technique that applies stimuli around the periphery of the finger pulp, demonstrating how this can provide rich, nuanced haptic information. We use a reconfigurable haptic device employing a ferromagnetic marble for back-of-the device handheld use, which, for the first time, probes, without instrumenting the user, the periphery of the distal phalanx with localised stimulation. We present the design-space afforded by this new technique and evaluate the human-factors of finger-peripheral touch interaction in a controlled userstudy. We report results with marbles of different diameters, speeds and a combination of poking, lateral vibration and patterns; present the resulting design guidelines for fingerperiphery haptic feedback; and, illustrate its potential with use case scenarios.
