This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) will enable Carnegie Mellon University to develop novel tactile haptic technologies for digital illustrations. The $651,000 award from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2028 will support research to: (1) identify the potential of stimuli-responsive soft materials to create haptic pixels for rendering graphical information through touch; (2)...
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...
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 $300,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of haptic technology innovations to guide student gesturing with dynamic STEM visualizations. Specifically, the University of Illinois will design and develop a custom haptic glove that interacts with a computer visualization of a biological cell. The goal is to determine how sensory feedback delivered to students' hands helps them understand representations displayed in computer simulations. Additionally, the...
