While we are waiting for Apple to design and start selling a holodeck (and the corresponding app for the iPhone), we can at least get a bit closer to that reality right now. We already have ...

When it comes to haptic feedback, most technologies are limited to simple vibrations. But our skin is loaded with tiny sensors that detect pressure, vibration, stretching and more. Now, Northwestern ...

New tech out of the wearables lab of Northwestern University inventor John Rogers can go beyond the simple buzz of a typical haptic sensor to mimic complex sensations on the skin. Northwestern ...

Despite haptic devices being available for visually impaired fans at the Africa Cup of Nations, their absence in the final game raises concerns about the inclusivity claims. The disparity in ...

Overview: Edge AI devices prioritize local inference to ensure user data remains stored on the physical hardware instead of ...

Despite the use of haptic, or touch, devices for visually impaired supporters at the Africa Cup of Nations, none were ...

Wearable haptic devices, which provide touch-based feedback, can provide more realistic experiences in virtual reality, assist with rehabilitation, and create new opportunities for silent ...
