Deformable linear objects, such as fur, hair, or grass, are composed of strands, typically bundled together covering a surface. When a hand comes into contact with these objects, a continuous sensation is produced as the point of contact moves along with the movement of the hand. This paper presents a new approach to rendering tactile sensations of real-world deformable linear objects that offers continuous feedback using a mid-air ultrasound haptic device. Our method involves transforming the local maxima detected upon collision between the hand and deformable linear objects along with the trajectory of the hand movement. We model deformable linear objects using a particle-based approach, combining Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics and solid mechanics. Our approach, which continuously shifts focal points, offers a significantly softer experience compared to discontinuous feedback. #haptics #haptics2024
