title = "HapticBox: Designing Hand-Held Thermal, Wetness, and Wind Stimuli for Virtual Reality",
abstract = "Experiences in virtual reality (VR) through multiple sensory modalities can be as rich as real-world experiences. However, many VR systems offer only visual and auditory stimuli. In this paper, we present HapticBox, a small, portable, and highly adaptable haptic device that can provide hand-held thermal, wetness, and wind haptics. We evaluated user perception of wetness and wind stimuli in the hand and to the face. The results showed that users had a stronger perception of the stimuli and a higher level of comfort with haptics in the hand. While increasing the voltage enhanced the wind perception, the results suggested that noise is an important side effect. We present our design details and discuss the future work.",
