Intuitive Hand Positional Guidance Using Fabric-Based Robotic Suits

In this research, we are developing fabric robotic suits that provide hand position guidance based on our proposed concept of "Augmented Haptics," which presents deformed force-tactile sensations to users.
This fabric robotic suit enables users to receive information about hand position in immersive environments even without visual information.
