This $136,745 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program funds research to examine how language can emerge and grow in the tactile modality. The University of Chicago is using this one-year grant, awarded on August 1, 2024, to study how the core lexicon, or highly conventionalized vocabulary, develops in an emerging tactile language called Protactile (PT) that is being used in some deafblind communities. The...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $321,388 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees) to conduct research aimed at developing novel haptic technologies to create a more realistic sense of touch in virtual reality interfaces. The research project has three core objectives: (1) develop models of how human skin interacts with textured surfaces during touch; (2) fabricate...
This $249,000 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070), supports research to transform haptic graphical user interfaces by leveraging dynamic behaviors of soft materials. The project aims to develop novel tactile haptic technologies for digital illustrations through an iterative process, with three main research objectives: Identify the potential of stimuli-responsive soft materials to...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $187,881 will support the development of tactile displays and related research at Chapman University from June 2022 through May 2024 under the Engineering (47.041) program. The university will integrate braille and graphics on a single platform using a small dynamic tactile grid. Researchers will characterize user acceptability of dynamic tactile systems calibrated for individual preferences. An initial 6x6 refreshable tactile grid adhering to...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $320,987 Project Grant to Northwestern University for the 3-year period from October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2026. The grant, funded through the NSF's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070), supports research to develop novel haptic technologies that can create a more realistic sense of touch in virtual environments. The research objectives are to: 1) formulate models of how human skin interacts with...
This $350,714 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program. The award aims to develop new computer vision and machine learning techniques to track hand motions and interpret daily hand-object interactions using wearable cameras. The project will create open-source algorithms and hardware platforms to enable "proprioceptive vision", where intelligent systems integrate physical...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program is funding the development and testing of software and hardware tools to enable faculty, staff, postdoctoral research fellows, and graduate students who are blind or have low vision to generate, identify, and manipulate digital data patterns and trends in the fields of chemistry, math, computer and information sciences. The $741,159 award to Newhaptics Corp and the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) provides $400,000 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to investigate methods and systems that allow blind and low-vision (BLV) users to build customized, interactive multisensory data representations spanning text, audio, and tactile modalities. The goal is to empower BLV individuals to engage in data analysis as richly...
This Project Grant award of $651,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) will enable Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) to develop novel tactile haptic technologies for digital illustrations. The key objectives are to: 1) identify the potential of stimuli-responsive soft materials to create haptic pixels for rendering graphical information through touch; 2) incorporate dynamic material response into tactile...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $599,518 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to the University of Maryland, College Park. This five-year grant, which began on September 1, 2023, will support research into "Manipulable Semantic Components in Data Visualization Design." The key focus of the project is to develop new interaction paradigms for data visualization design, enabling flexible manipulation of graphical...
