Demonstrating VibraForge: An Open-source Vibrotactile Prototyping Toolkit with Scalable Modular Design. Huang, B., Cai, H., Ren, S., Sang, Y., Cheng, Q., Dietz, P. H., & Wigdor, D. In Adjunct Proceedings of the 37th Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology, of UIST Adjunct '24, New York, NY, USA, 2024. Association for Computing Machinery.
Paper doi abstract bibtex We demonstrate VibraForge, an open-source vibrotactile prototyping toolkit1 that supports fine-grained control of up to 120 vibrotactile actuators. Our solution features modular and scalable design principles, self-contained vibration units, chain-connection topology, and custom communication protocol. Additionally, we offer a GUI editor for intuitive multi-actuator pattern authoring. This toolkit significantly lowers the barriers to haptic design and expands the design space for multi-actuator applications. In our demonstration, participants will have the chance to experience the full process of designing vibrotactile systems from scratch using VibraForge. This includes assembling vibrotactile wearable devices, mounting them on clothes, designing vibration patterns, and real-time evaluation. Our goal is to showcase the transformative potential of multi-actuator systems and lower the barriers to haptic design for researchers and designers.
