Research

My research focuses on developing novel haptic and thermal interfaces for immersive virtual reality experiences.

My research interests include:

I aim to understand human perception mechanisms and develop new methods for presenting realistic sensations in virtual environments.

Warmth Motion Illusion Induced by Pulling Illusion

Fundamental Investigation of Warmth Motion Illusion Induced by Pulling Illusion

In this research, I investigate a novel thermal perception phenomenon in which warmth is perceived as moving across the skin.

By utilizing the pulling illusion induced by asymmetric vibrotactile stimulation, dynamic thermal sensations can be presented without physically moving the heat source.

This approach enables the presentation of spatially and temporally dynamic thermal feedback for virtual reality applications.

Thermal Feedback for Virtual Reality

Thermal feedback is an important modality for improving immersion in virtual environments.

However, conventional thermal displays often require physical movement of heat sources or complex hardware configurations.

My research explores novel approaches for presenting dynamic thermal sensations using perceptual illusions and multimodal interaction.

Vibrotactile Feedback and Haptics

Vibrotactile stimulation provides rich information about texture, force, and motion.

I investigate how vibration-induced perceptual phenomena can be combined with other modalities to create new haptic experiences.
