  • #13 Feeling Touch and Temperature with Chemical Haptics

    We will talk about Chemical Haptics with Jasmine Lu and Jas Brooks of the Human-Computer Integration Lab of the University of Chicago.


    This is a new type of haptic device that works by delivering chemicals to the skin. In turn, the user’s skin reacts and internally creates haptic sensations.
