A body-conforming tactile jacket to enrich movie viewing

Adding haptic stimulation to movies is a promising step in creating more emotionally immersive experiences. To explore the potential of this concept, we have created a wearable tactile jacket that is used to deliver movie-specific tactile stimuli to the viewers body that are specifically targeted to influence the viewers emotions. Immersion was evaluated in a user test using questionnaires and physiological measurements. The findings show promising effects of the haptic stimuli that need to be substantiated in further more refined user tests.

High-numerical aperture holographic data storage

A simple, diffraction limited, optical design for a Holographic Data Storage System with a high numerical aperture and large field is presented. A system analysis is performed and the design is compared with different current and future formats for optical data storage.
