Title: "A survey on haptic technologies for mobile augmented reality"

by

Mr. Carlos BERMEJO FERNANDEZ


Abstract:

Augmented Reality (AR) and Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) applications have 
gained much research and industry attention in recent years. The mobile nature 
of MAR applications limits users’ interaction capabilities such as inputs, and 
haptic feedbacks. This survey reviews current research issues in the area of 
human computer interaction for MAR and haptic devices. The survey first 
presents the human sensing capabilities and its applicability in AR 
applications. We classify the haptic devices in two groups according to the 
triggered sense: cutaneous/tactile: touch, active surfaces, and mid-air; 
kinesthetic: manipulandum, grasp, and exoskeleton. Due to the mobile 
capabilities of MAR applications, we mainly focus our study on wearable haptic 
devices for each category and their AR possibilities. To conclude, we discuss 
the future paths that haptic feedbacks should follow for the MAR applications 
and their challenges.
