Abstract
LinkGlide is a novel wearable palm-worn tactile display to deliver multicontact and multimodal stimuli at the user’s palm. The array of inverted five-bar linkages generate three independent contact points to cover the whole palm area. The independent contact points allow to control different patterns in each of the points and provide multimodal tactile feedback, such as slippage, force vector, pressure, temperature, and vibration. With this novel haptic device, we can potentially achieve a highly immersive VR experience and make it more interactive.
