Project Overview
The VibrAid project explores haptic user interfaces for improving perception and interaction with complex visual data. Using vibrotactile feedback, it allows users to "feel" patterns in data visualizations. () Developed under the Software Campus program, it combines HCI, wearable computing, and data visualization.
Our Goal
Investigate how haptic feedback can enhance understanding of complex data. Develop a wearable vibrotactile interface for interactive visualizations. Evaluate user performance and cognitive load compared to purely visual methods.
Highlights
Integrates haptics with data visualization systems. Uses wearable vibration patterns to represent trends or anomalies. Conducted under the Software Campus initiative, merging academic and industrial mentorship.
Impact
Enables multimodal interaction with big data visualizations. Improves accessibility for visually impaired users. Contributes to novel UX paradigms for future analytics tools.
