In this project, we create artificial piloerection using contactless electrostatics to induce tactile sensations in a contactless way. Firstly, we design various high-voltage generators and evaluate them in terms of their static charge, safety and frequency response...
Programmable matter can change its shape, stiffness or other physical properties upon command. Previous work has shown contactless optically controlled matter or magnetic actuation, but the former is limited in strength and the latter in spatial resolution. Here, we...
LevPet combines affective computing and magnetic levitation to create an artificial levitating pet with affective responses and novel ways of moving to express emotions. Our interactive pet can recognise the user’s emotional status using computer vision, and respond...
LeviPrint is a system for assembling objects in a contactless manner using acoustic levitation. We explore a set of optimum acoustic fields that enables full trapping in position and orientation of elongated objects such as sticks. We then evaluate the capabilities of...
Some daily tasks involve grasping multiple objects in one hand and releasing them in a determined order, for example laying out a surgical table or distributing items on shelves. For training these tasks in Virtual Reality (VR), there is no technique for allowing...
We presented the following demo in congreso Interacción’19 in San Sebastian. “Immersive virtual reality environments allow interaction through generic devices with specific characteristics of such environments: three-dimensional interaction devices or wearable devices...
We developed a Web Front End Tool and the Back End for an intuitive and automatic digital fabrication process of Nicetrails.com Read the full paper here Cite this Work BibTex: @inproceedings{ardaiz2020interactions, title={Interactions with Digital Mountains: Tangible,...
We present SliceView, a simple and inexpensive multi-view display made with multiple parallel translucent sheets that sit on top of a regular monitor; each sheet reflects different 2D images that are perceived cumulatively. A technical study is performed on the...
This demo show how to make use of a pen graphic tablet to facilitate drawing in virtual reality. We replicated the graphic tablet in VR so that pen strokes are precisely painted in a plane, another 3+3 DOF controller is used to move the virtual plane around virtual...
We presented the following demo at the CHI PLAY ’19 conference in Barcelona:“Virtual Reality (VR) gaming environments can recreate dangerous or even physically impossible situations in an immersive way. However, VR players are isolated from the real world and the...
Holographic optical tweezers use focused light to manipulate multiple objects independently without contact. They are used in tasks such as measuring the spring constant of DNA, the pulling force of the kinesin protein, or to trap matter in exotic states. Differently,...
Handheld devices are capable of displaying augmented environments in which virtual content overlaps reality. To interact with these environments it is necessary to use a manipulation technique. The objective of a manipulation technique is to define how the input data...
