Discover Haptics

#Haptics, what's haptics? Everything you might or might not want to know about #Technology which can #simulate the #SenseOfTouch.

**NEW THINKING PIECE** 'Technologies of Touch: Rendering physical tactile sensations into virtual online shopping environments'. Fascinating guest post by Margot Racat @margot_bb https://t.co/pFMQGl2FRh

[Helge Wurdemann @H_Wurdemann]

It is great to hear that Luke Beddow @as_cs_ucl @SoftHaptics and @Duncanr8_MechE @SoftHaptics @uclmecheng have won best poster awards at the 1st @uclrobotics workshop - many congratulations. All videos are on https://t.co/Ay6XDtY0jl

What if you could feel an #echo, or response to your #touch? The Tactile Echoes system measures the vibration in your fingernail and feeds back a playful audio and haptic response. https://t.co/79R0HgZRkV

Great to meet, and learn more about this partnership. Who'd have thought an octopus🐙would have been the thing that sparked the initial connection!? meetings where we get to learn new things are great: soft robotics and computational art... 🤯

Exciting to be starting the analysis of our interactive skin case study data generating themes from across the data-set including in-depth interviews, creative probes, a collaborative speculative workshop on the futures of interactive skin

[UCL Soft Haptics and Robotics @SoftHaptics]

Dr @AzadehShariati, Duncan Paterson and @H_Wurdemann met @thelastdropldn the Trellis panel to discuss their public art program understanding how tech can support people in an isolated world funded through @EPSRC Impact Acceleration Account @UCLEngage #UCLPerformanceLab

Ever experienced that middle-of-the-night panic fumbling in the dark for a light switch because you're DESPERATE for the bathroom? Haven't we all.

But how does this get us thinking about the importance of 'touch'? #ImpactFellow @Sariadela_abad explains:

Have you ever felt that you have been touched, or imagined that feeling whilst watching ‘paranormal TV’? Interesting article here that unpacks some of the rhetorical devices used in that genre

What means #touch to you? And how important is #touch? Do you keep in #touch during these difficult #COVID19 times? Listen to this #MadeAtUCL #podcast on a very relevant topic https://t.co/dsaMpLHsix @uclmecheng @tas_trust @UKRobotics #haptics

[IN_TOUCH_UCL @IN_TOUCH_UCL]

Q- What would top 3 objects would you use to tell your story of Covid-19 to future generations, capturing all the fear, horror and hope?
