Abstract:

Haptics is the science of applying touch (tactile) sensation and control to interact with computer applications. Haptic device gives people a sense of touch with computer generated environments, so that when virtual objects are touched, they seem real and tangible. Haptic technology refers to technology that interfaces the user with a virtual environment via the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations, and/or motions to the user. However, most of these technologies are vision-based, consequently lacking the physicality of bodily expression itself. Moreover, such technologies tend to isolate the expressive body from its surroundings, thus interfering in the relationship between the body’s expressions and the environment that engenders it. This position paper presents an attempt to explore bodily expressions in a tactile manner through the tangible properties of physical space itself.
