A glove and armband that gives people with upper limb prosthetics a sense of touch through haptic feedback is in development at the University of Bath, with a unique at-home trials set to begin in the ...

A new wearable, textile-based device that uses touch could help declutter, enhance—and, in the case of impairments—compensate for deficiencies in visual and auditory inputs, new research shows.

Northwestern University engineers have developed the first haptic device that achieves "human resolution," meaning it accurately matches the sensing abilities of the human fingertip. Subscribe to our ...

It's a lightweight device about the size of your fingertip that can go far beyond simply vibrating against your skin to deliver richer haptics using more sophisticated tech. "Almost all haptic ...

What if you could see how rough an object feels, even without touching it? A KAIST research team has developed a technique ...

There are so many things in life that we take for granted because we can more or less see clearly. Navigation is a no-brainer, but even entertainment is a completely different experience for those ...

Scientists have invented compact wearable devices that deliver rich, expressive, and pleasant tactile sensations that go far beyond the buzzing vibrations of today's consumer devices. Human skin can ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece discusses advances in the use of haptic textiles for sensory feedback. In 1999, I defined regenerative ...
