Haptic devices & Augmented reality (AR) glasses
Compact, lightweight haptic actuator mounted on a finger
Haptic glove equipped with CASAs capable of localized pressure on the fingertip
High force and actuation stroke to convey the sensation of large static skin deformation
The simplicity, thin form factor and compliance of the haptic glove allow for a natural fit condition without impairing any action of the fingers
Resistance-type force sensor for measuring the external contact

AR glasses capable of direct image-depth switching
These glasses are capable of image depth control to relieve visual fatigue caused by vergence-accommodation conflict (VAC)
The robustness of the proposed actuators ensures suppression of tilting and the precise switching of the image
