GCT722 Spring 2025
Interactive Haptic Technologies



This course will cover interactive haptic technologies for XR/AR/VR, Mobile/Ubiquitous Computing, and Tangible & Object Interfaces. Primarily, we will go through the theoretical background and application of different sensing and haptic technologies along with perception theory. The course will cover associated technical evaluations and user study methods and state-of-art advanced interactive technologies.
