Touch input technologies such as the projected capacitance sensors found on many smart phones are rapidly advancing.  But what about touch output?  In this talk, we\u2019ll discuss \u201csurface haptics\u201d:  programmable haptic interaction for physical surfaces such as touch screens and touch pads.  Four main approaches \u2013 vibration, shape, electrotactile, and shear force \u2013 will be reviewed, but emphasis will be given to shear force because it is uniquely suited to bilateral (e.g., force feedback) interaction.  We\u2019ll explain how shear force can be controlled by manipulating friction. Specific approaches to controlling coefficient of friction (?), normal force (N), and relative velocity (?v), will be reviewed, and we\u2019ll describe a variety of devices \u2013 the TPaD, ShiverPaD, LateralPaD, and ActivePaD \u2013 that have been developed in our lab to exploit these effects.  We\u2019ll share some recent experimental results, and close with some speculation on the future of surface haptics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .asset-content --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The touch screen is the preeminent human-computer interface of our times.
