A pair of Georgia Tech researchers brought their prototype haptic device to students in Georgia Tech’s EXCEL Program as part of a research study developing wearable technology that creates an experience of touch using vibrations while gathering sensory data from the user through skin contact.
Eunhye Grace Flavin, senior research scientist with the Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics, and Computing (CEISMC), and Matthew Flavin, assistant professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, are collaborating on the research project. Their focus is on exploring how haptic devices, commonly used in gaming and vibrating cellphones, could help facilitate learning by college students.
