About
Jagan K. Balasubramanian is a researcher at the forefront of multisensory haptic perception and human-computer interaction. His work centers on understanding how humans perceive and interact with surfaces through touch, sound, and vision, with a particular focus on developing rich, ecologically valid datasets to advance tactile sensing technologies. His most notable contribution is the creation of the SENS3 database, a pioneering multisensory resource that captures finger-surface interactions alongside corresponding auditory and visual feedback. This dataset, published in 2024 and already garnering 6 citations, provides a foundational tool for researchers studying texture perception, haptic feedback design, and sensory substitution. Balasubramanian's work bridges psychophysics and engineering, enabling more realistic virtual and augmented reality experiences. By systematically documenting the complex interplay between physical surface properties and human sensory responses, he is helping to shape the next generation of haptic interfaces and robotic tactile systems. His research is particularly valuable for students and engineers working on prosthetics, teleoperation, and immersive media, offering both a methodological framework and a benchmark for multisensory data collection.
