- Variable Friction (Variable Friction Display, Friction Modulation)
- A surface haptics technique that dynamically adjusts the friction between a user's fingertip and a touchscreen surface to create the sensation of different textures. Typically achieved through ultraso…
- Vibro-Audio Map (VAM, Vibro-Audio Display)
- A multimodal map representation for touchscreen devices that combines vibrotactile feedback with synchronised audio cues to convey spatial information non-visually. Users explore the map by dragging a…
- Vibromotor (Vibration Motor, Vibrotactile Actuator, ERM)
- A vibromotor is a small motor that produces vibration, commonly used in haptic feedback devices, smartphones, and wearable technology. The most common types are eccentric rotating mass (ERM) motors, w…
- Virtual Texture (Simulated Texture, Haptic Texture)
- A virtual texture is a computer-generated tactile surface property rendered through a haptic device, simulating the feel of roughness, smoothness, or other surface characteristics without a physical m…
- Virtual Wall (Haptic Wall, Haptic Boundary)
- A simulated physical boundary in a haptic interface that the user can feel through a force-feedback device, modelled as a massless plate backed by a spring with stiffness and a damper with viscosity. …
