Thermal Haptic Feedback in Virtual Reality

In this episode, we delve into the paper "Thermal Haptic for Virtual Reality: A Review" authored by Wei Ning and Marco Gilardi, published at the IEEE SKIMA conference. The paper explores the field of thermal haptics (TH) and its application in virtual reality (VR) to enhance user immersion and realism. The authors provide a valuable review and categorisation of existing TH devices for VR, discussing different stimulation methods and potential use cases. Learn how temperature feedback is being integrated into VR experiences to simulate environments, interactions, and even emotional cues. Join us for an insightful look into the evolving landscape of touch sensations in the virtual world.
