About

Yui Osato is a researcher at the forefront of human-computer interaction, with a particular focus on pseudo-haptic feedback and mid-air imaging technologies. Her most cited work, "Charrot" (2018), introduces a novel approach that combines visual representations of computer-generated characters with vibrotactile cues to create compelling haptic illusions without physical contact. This pioneering method has garnered 4 citations and represents a significant step forward in making digital interactions more intuitive and immersive. Osato's research sits at the intersection of virtual reality, haptics, and user interface design, exploring how users can meaningfully engage with CG characters displayed in mid-air. Her contributions are particularly relevant for applications in entertainment, telepresence, and assistive technologies, where realistic touch feedback is essential but physical contact is impractical. By leveraging the brain's ability to integrate visual and tactile information, Osato's work opens new possibilities for natural, contactless interaction with virtual environments. Her research continues to inspire developments in pseudo-haptic systems, offering a glimpse into a future where digital and physical realities blend seamlessly.
