ABSTRACT
Kissing is a universal and essential interaction in human communication, yet we are not able to transmit and reproduce the multisensory sensations of kissing over digital communication networks. A networked kissing device is proposed to sense the lip pressure of users and to produce accurate force feedback to simulate kissing sensations. The system is designed to engage multiple sensory modalities during user interaction, including touch, smell, video and voice. This device can be used to augment digital communication by transmitting intimate touch sensations between human and human remotely, or between human and virtual agents.

AoEs: enhancing teleportation experience in immersive environment with mid-air haptics
SIGGRAPH '17: ACM SIGGRAPH 2017 Emerging TechnologiesTo alleviate cybersickness in the immersive virtual reality (VR), teleportation is a common method of moving around in virtual spaces. Although users can receive the visual and auditory feedbacks from their first-person perspective with the advances of ...
Physically touching and tasting virtual objects enhances the realism of virtual experiences
Experiment 1 explored the impact of physically touching a virtual object on how realistic the virtual environment (VE) seemed to the user. Subjects in a `no touch' group picked up a 3D virtual image of a kitchen plate in a VE, using a traditional 3D ...
