Abstract
We present four technologies to deliver contactless haptic stimuli for enriching Virtual Reality (VR) experiences. The technologies are electrostatic piloerection, focused light-induced heat, electric plasma, and ultrasound; the user does not require to wear or touch any device. We describe the working principle behind each technology and how these technologies can provide new exciting sensations in VR experiences. Additionally, we showcase a VR demo experience gathering all four remote haptic stimuli along a circuit for the users to experiment with these new sensations.
