    Contactless electrostatic piloerection for haptic sensations
    (IEEE, 2023) Iriarte Cárdenas, Naroa; Ezcurdia Aguirre, Íñigo Fermín; Elizondo Martínez, Sonia; Irisarri Erviti, Josu; Hemmerling, Daria; Ortiz Nicolás, Amalia; Marzo Pérez, Asier; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika
    In this project, we create artificial piloerection using contactless electrostatics to induce tactile sensations in a contactless way. Firstly, we design various high-voltage generators and evaluate them in terms of their static charge, safety and frequency response with different electrodes as well as grounding strategies. Secondly, a psychophysics user study revealed which parts of the upper body are more sensitive to electrostatic piloerection and what adjectives are associated with them. Finally, we combine an electrostatic generator to produce artificial piloerection on the nape with a head-mounted display, this device provides an augmented virtual experience related to fear. We hope that work encourages designers to explore contactless piloerection for enhancing experiences such as music, short movies, video games, or exhibitions.

    TOUCHLESS: demonstrations of contactless haptics for affective touch
    (ACM, 2023) Chew, Sean; Dalsgaard, Tor-Salve; Maunsbach, Martin; Bergström, Joanna; Seifi, Hasti; Hornbæk, Kasper; Irisarri Erviti, Josu; Ezcurdia Aguirre, Íñigo Fermín; Iriarte Cárdenas, Naroa; Marzo Pérez, Asier; Frier, William; Georgiou, Orestis; Sheremetieva, Anna; Kwarciak, Kamil; Stroiński, Maciej; Hemmerling, Daria; Maksymenko, Mykola; Cataldo, Antonio; Obrist, Marianna; Haggard, Patrick; Subramanian, Sriram; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika
    A set of demonstrators of contactless haptic principles is described in this work. The technologies are based on electrostatic piloerection, chemical compounds and ultrasound. Additionally, applications related to affective touch are presented, ranging from storytelling to biosignal transfer, accompanied with a simple application to edit dynamic tactile patterns in an easy way. The demonstrators are the result of the Touchless project, which is a H2020 european collaborative project that integrates 3 universities and 3 companies. These demostrators are contactless haptic experiences and thus facilitate the come-and-interact paradigm, where users can approach the demo booth and directly experience the applications without having to wear devices, making the experience fast and hygienic.

    Electric plasma guided with ultrasonic fields
    (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2025-02-05) Irisarri Erviti, Josu; Ezcurdia Aguirre, Íñigo Fermín; Iriarte Cárdenas, Naroa; Sirkka, Marika; Nikolaev, Dmitry; Mäkinen, Joni; Martinez-Marchese, Alexander; Iablonskyi, Denys; Salmi, Ari; Marzo Pérez, Asier; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC
    Electric plasma forms sparks in midair that transfer electrical current. This current can power high-voltage electronics, kill bacteria, produce tactile sensations, or be used for welding. However, the formation of the spark is chaotic and hard to control. Laser pulses can guide discharges but require high power and are disruptive and cumbersome to control. Here, we show that ultrasonic fields can guide plasma sparks, even around obstacles. The ultrasonic beams can be directed dynamically and within milliseconds, enabling precise, nondangerous, and fast control of high-voltage sparks. This phenomenon can be used for applications in high-voltage switching and plasma treatments.
