DESCRIPTION:Defense Abstract:\n\nHuman tactile perception is better in the 
 glabrous skin of the fingertips compared to most other locations on the bod
 y\, but haptic (touch feedback) devices mounted on the fingertips prevent u
 sers from handling physical objects and hinder finger tracking during inter
 action with virtual or augmented reality environments. Relocation of haptic
  feedback from the fingertips to the wrist has the potential to enable hapt
 ic interaction with virtual environments while leaving the fingers free. My
  work addresses the design\, perception\, and effectiveness of wrist-based 
 feedback.\n\nIn this talk\, I will first present my work on dynamic virtual
  environments and user studies to test human task performance and identify 
 best practices for mapping fingertip interactions to relocated haptic feedb
 ack on the wrist. Second\, I will discuss the characterization of soft\, we
 arable 3D-printed devices designed to be worn on the wrist and fingers for 
 multi-degree-of-freedom haptic interactions. Finally\, I will explain psych
 ophysical studies I performed to quantify human sensitivity thresholds for 
 stimuli from wrist- and finger-worn devices and compare perception at the w
 rist\, index finger\, and thumb in multiple degrees of freedom. This work e
 nables the design of next-generation virtual environments augmented with re
 located haptic feedback.
