Strategic Objectives
• Master the physics of thermoelectric cooling and fluidic heat transfer.
• Design immersive AR/VR environments with realistic temperature cues.
• Understand the neurobiology of human thermoreception and comfort.
• Implement energy-efficient Peltier systems for wearable haptics.
The Core Challenge
While haptic technology has mastered vibration, it has largely ignored the caloric aspect of touch, leaving virtual worlds feeling cold and lifeless.
