Laterotactile Communication for Mobile Interactions

(by Jerome Pasquero - return to home page)

What is this webpage?

 

This webpage is a brief account of the work that I have been carrying and will be pursuing for my Ph.D. thesis. I will try to keep it up to date as much as possible. An older version of this webpage, covering previous related work, can be found here.

 

 

A large part of my work is an ongoing collaboration with my colleague and friend Vincent Levesque at the McGill Haptics Lab under Prof. Vincent Hayward.

I also collaborate with the SPIN lab at the University of British Columbia under the supervision of Prof. Karon MacLean.
