Atmospheric Haptics: Rendering Airflow and Temperature as Tactile Fields for Interactive Experiences in Virtual Reality

DescriptionAtmospheric Haptics treats airflow and temperature as programmable, non-contact tactile fields for VR. Four perceptual primitives—Intensity, Temperature, Spatiality, and Dynamics—drive a three-layer rendering pipeline implemented in a handheld prototype. A user study confirms enhanced realism, improved navigation precision, and convincing wetness illusions without liquid contact.
