About
Alexander Wilberz is a leading researcher in human-computer interaction and virtual reality, specializing in multisensory haptic feedback. His most cited work, "FaceHaptics: Robot Arm based Versatile Facial Haptics for Immersive Environments" (2020, 52 citations), introduces a groundbreaking system that attaches a robot arm to a head-mounted VR display to deliver localized, multi-directional haptic cues—including wind, warmth, touch, and water spray—directly to the face. This innovation dramatically enhances immersion by enabling dynamic, movable sensations that mimic real-world interactions. Wilberz’s contributions bridge robotics and VR, offering a versatile platform for studying how tactile feedback influences presence and emotional response in virtual spaces. His work has been recognized for its technical novelty and practical implications, influencing subsequent research on embodied interaction and sensory substitution. With a growing citation impact, Wilberz continues to push boundaries in creating more realistic and engaging virtual environments, making him a key figure in the evolution of haptic technology.
