Slides from the talk I gave at World Haptics 2015 in Chicago to present our latest results regarding the localisation of ultrasonic haptics in the air.
7. How well can users locate ultrasonic
haptic cues in mid-air?

• Task
• « Match the 2D position
of the marker to the 2D
position of the target
point »
• 18 participants * 10

21. Conclusion
• Visual cues make localisation
faster
• Haptic cues improve accuracy
• With V&H cues object size
should be more than 1cm²
• With haptic cues alone,
object size should be more
than 2cm²
