Not all approaches of presenting haptic information admit
intrinsic physical models. This entails the development of
an abstract "haptic language" able to articulate haptic signals
that users can intuitively interpret, manipulate and create.
The student on this M.Sc. or Ph.D. project could come from
either a CS / engineering background (with interest in learning
psychological experimental methods) or from Psychology (with
good programming skills and interest in learning at least
simple haptic feedback control methods). Prior familiarity
with haptic feedback and/or robotic controls is a plus, but
not necessary.
The student will undertake a complete thesis research project
related to the topic of abstract haptic language, including
literature review, signal analysis, multimodal environment
prototyping (using existing hardware and testing facilities)
and user testing.
