M-Hair: Extended Reality by Stimulating the Body Hair

Published:17 November 2019Publication History

ABSTRACT

M-Hair is a novel method for providing tactile feedback by stimulating only body hair. By applying passive magnetic materials to the body hair, these ones responsive to external magnetic forces/fields, creating a new opportunity for interactions, such as enriching media experiences, emotional touch, or even relieving pain.
