VR with multisensory interaction

 


Multisensory VR creates deeply immersive experiences by combining visual and auditory elements with touch, smell, temperature, and even motion cues. Instead of relying solely on a headset and controllers, this approach activates multiple human senses simultaneously, making virtual environments feel more realistic and emotionally impactful. Haptic gloves and suits simulate texture and force, spatial audio shapes a 3D soundscape, scent emitters recreate environmental smells, and temperature devices generate warmth or coolness to match the virtual setting. Together, these technologies blur the boundary between digital and physical worlds, allowing users to feel, hear, smell, and experience virtual environments as if they were real.

What Is Ultrasonic Haptics?

Ultrasonic haptics is a technology that uses focused ultrasound waves to create tactile sensations in mid-air. Unlike traditional haptic systems that rely on physical contact, ultrasonic haptics lets users feel virtual buttons, textures, or forces without touching any surface.

How It Works

Ultrasonic transducer arrays emit high-frequency sound waves that converge at precise points in space. When these pressure points align with a user’s hand, they stimulate skin receptors, producing the perception of touch. Adjusting frequency, amplitude, and phase patterns enables a wide range of sensations.

Key Applications

Virtual & Mixed Reality: Enables touch-based interactions without gloves.
Automotive Controls: Allows drivers to interact with dashboards without looking away from the road
Medical Training: Supports realistic simulation without equipment contact.
Public Interfaces: Reduces contamination by replacing physical touchscreens.
 
Advantages Over Traditional Haptics

Fully contactless

Hygienic and low-maintenance

Highly programmable and adaptable

Capable of dynamic, fine-grained tactile effects

Safe and non-invasive

Challenges and Future Potential

Current limitations include limited force output, need for large transducer arrays, and sensitivity to hand position tracking. Future advancements may bring stronger sensations, higher resolution, and broader integration in AR/VR, robotics, and smart environments.

Intercrystals

Image
  Recent advancements in material science have led to the discovery of a new class of materials known as intercrystals. Researchers from Rutgers University–New Brunswick have revealed their unique electronic properties, which could influence future technologies. These materials are formed by stacking ultrathin layers of graphene with a slight twist over hexagonal boron nitride, creating moiré patterns that alter electron movement. What Are Intercrystals? Intercrystals are materials that exhibit both quasicrystalline and crystalline properties. They possess non-repeating atomic patterns like quasicrystals but maintain symmetries found in conventional crystals. This hybrid nature allows for unique electronic behaviours not typically observed in standard materials. The Role of Twistronics Twistronics is a modern technique that manipulates the angles of layered materials. By adjusting these angles, researchers can create moiré patterns that dramatically change the electronic structure....
