ABSTRACT
We present the Force Attraction Pen, a haptic stylus that encourages the users to move in a particular direction by providing variable attraction force feedback based on their actions. The tip of the stylus is augmented with an electromagnet that can repel or attract the stylus to a metallic surface. By altering the polarity and voltage, we change the amount and direction of the force produced. The tactile expressions of the stylus may enable a higher grain of control during tasks such as tracing an image, performing selection, and other high precision tasks. In this paper we present the design and implementation of such a system, along with a formative study as a preliminary investigation into the haptic feedback generated by our system.

Haptic pen: a tactile feedback stylus for touch screens
UIST '04: Proceedings of the 17th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technologyIn this paper we present a system for providing tactile feedback for stylus-based touch-screen displays. The Haptic Pen is a simple low-cost device that provides individualized tactile feedback for multiple simultaneous users and can operate on large ...
Haptic Mouse Interface Actuated by an Electromagnet
CISIS '11: Proceedings of the 2011 International Conference on Complex, Intelligent, and Software Intensive SystemsIn this paper, we propose a hap tic feedback mouse that is actuated by an electromagnet. The hap tic mouse works like a normal optical mouse but attraction force is generated between the electromagnet and a ferromagnetic mouse pad. We introduce some ...
Image-based haptic display via a novel pen-shaped haptic device on touch screens
Haptic interaction is a new interactive mode in the interaction technology between human and touch screens. In this work, we present an image-based haptic interaction system on touch screens. A novel haptic pen is designed for haptic display of visual ...
