Many haptic feedback methods have been proposed to enhance realism in virtual reality (VR). However, friction on the feet VR, which renders as if walking different terrains or ground textures stepping objects is still less explored. Herein, we propose a wearable device, FrictShoes pair of foot accessories, provide multilevel nonuniform feet. This achieved by independent functioning six brakes wheels underneath each FrictShoe, allows levels from be either matched vary. We conducted magnitude...
Laser-cutting is a promising fabrication method that empowers makers, including blind or visually-impaired (BVI) creators, to create technologies fit their needs. Existing work on laser-cut accessibility has facilitated easier assembly as workaround for existing models. However, models are still not designed accommodate the needs of BVI users. Integrating can enrich greater maker community by enabling cross-group discourse making. To investigate how model design be more accessible overall,...
Design tools and research regarding laser-cut architectures have been widely explored in the past decade. However, such discussion has mostly revolved around technical structural design questions instead of another essential element models — assembly a process that relies heavily on components' visual affordance, therefore less accessible to blind or low vision (BLV) people. To narrow gap this area, we co-designed with 7 BLV people examine their experience different architectures. From...
