Turning Magnetic fields into virtual touch
Mid-air force and tactile haptic feedback
HapMag provides researchers, developers and innovators in AR/VR, medical simulators,
robotics, Human-Computer interaction, gaming, education, and digital art the ability to
integrate mid-air haptic force feedback into their systems.
Virtual force feedback projected onto your fingers
Mid-air force haptic feedback
Augmented/Virtual reality lacks realism compared to traditional physical means which involves the human sense of touch. Mid-air haptics is an emerging technology that can enhance the realism of interaction with AR/VR.
HapMag is an electromagnetic-based haptic interface that provides the user with both force and tactile haptic feedback in mid-air without direct contact with the system.
HapMag has been part of ACE Incubator (cohort fall 2021). ACE is a joint effort by UvA and VU to valorise science- and tech-based initiatives.
