Haptics and sense of weight / Gravity Grabber

I’m interested in learning more about how people perceive weight and motion through haptics. Can you feel the weight of virtual anatomy?

wearable devices to simulate the weight of virtual objects using skin stretch. 29, 41

the deformation on fingerpads makes a reliable weight sensation even when the proprioceptive sensation is absent

Is this so for other places on the body?

it is assumed that the vertical stress is the grip force on the hand and the shearing stress (Ft) is equal to the gravitational force acting on the object.

Vertical stress (Fn) and shearing stress (Ft) between the finger and object while grasping. Fn is the grip force and Ft is equal to the gravitational force acting on the object.

Very cool and easy to understand!

For wearability, you should probably thinking about the vibrotactile versions if those are any smaller. How do those work?

Externally grounded haptic devices can render external forces such as gravity
