Bhardwaj et al., Demonstrating TangibleData: Interactive Data Visualizati..., Haptics Symposium 2024
Date: NaT

We present an interactive 3D data visualization tool called TangibleData. TangibleData adapts hand gestures and mid-air haptics to provide 3D data interaction in VR using ultrasound haptic feedback. We used different types of 3D visualization datasets and designed three data encoding methods to convert data into visual and haptic representations for data visualization. We focused on an intuitive approach for each dataset, using mid-air haptics to improve the user’s understanding. We combined each dataset’s inherent properties (density, volume, and location) with haptics to demonstrate a tangible learning experience for the user.
