University of Siena | Tactile technologies for augmented perception for multimedia contents and rehabilitation
The haptic totem is designed to augment audio-video digital experiences with synchronized tactile sensations. It elevates the authenticity of digital content by adding the sense of touch. When you place your hand on the plate, specifically targeting the five-finger pads and the palm, it transmits texture-based vibrations and thermal feedback. These sensations are precisely synchronized with audio-visual content, creating a full immersive experience. This synchronization is managed via a timeline-based interface.
During this demo, you will feel different textures and temperature cues, all perfectly timed with the content on screen. Users will have an increased engagement and a unique way to experience digital content.
Experience how the Haptic Totem makes digital content tangible.
