• Tactile brush: drawing on skin with a tactile grid display (2011, background): “Second is the construction of high-order tactile percepts to communicate complex meanings, expressions and experiences, such as symbolic information, images and sounds [2, 12], alerts, messages [7] and spatial information, such as directions and shapes [35, 37].”
• Non-commercial Research and Educational Use including without Limitation Use in Instruction at Your Institution, Sending It to Specific Colleagues That You Know, and Providing a Copy to Your Institution's Administrator. All Other Uses, Reproduction and Distribution, including without Limitation Comm (2005, unknown): “It is well known that liquid-crystal molecules themselves, that usually contain 20 or more spins 1/2, show anisotropic NMR spectra in which separate transitions can no longer be observed and where extensive overlap leads to broad, structureless spectral features.”
• Haptics: The Present and Future of Artificial Touch Sensation (2018, background): “However, vibration signals can be much more expressive and can present a wider range of information by altering the amplitude, frequency, rhythm, and envelope of the vibration (70).”
• Multisensory warning signals for event perception and safe driving (2008, background): “Much research has been conducted on the use of auditory icons (Graham 1999), although what constitutes an easily learned signal is less clear for the case of tactile warning signals (see Brewster and Brown 2004).”
• NormalTouch and TextureTouch: High-fidelity 3D Haptic Shape Rendering on Handheld Virtual Reality Controllers (2016, background): “Similarly, Brewster and Brown [7] produced small wearable “Tactons”, capable of rendering non-visual messages through Braille-like miniature pins.”
• ActiveBelt: Belt-Type Wearable Tactile Display for Directional Navigation (2004, background): “Brewster proposed a sophisticated conceptual framework for tactile displays and information presentation[5].”
