H-Reality

Mixed Haptic Feedback for Mid-Air Interactions in Virtual and Augmented Realities

H-Reality aims at combining the contactless haptic technology with the contact haptic technology and then apply it into virtual and augmented reality technologies. The vision of the project is to study how to best combine these technologies to give a highest level of being immerse in these scenarios.
