Presentation
**Sony [Intern] Researcher – Haptics**
SessionJob Postings
Description[Position Summary]
Currently, vibration stimulation is the prevailing haptic technology utilized in mainstream products. However, our focus lies in developing a haptic technology capable of replicating diverse haptic sensations unable to be reproduced by vibration. With the utilization of this technology, we can achieve a sense of operation and UI in XR/remote environments that closely mimics reality, enabling us to enhance the overall sense of immersion and presence.
Presently, we engage in research and development across various domains, from wideband vibrotactile presentation to force and pressure presentation, while developing sensing technologies essential for haptic presentation.
