Biography

I am a Lecturer in the Glasgow Interactive Systems Section.

My research explores new haptic interaction techniques, to create new digital experiences that take full advantage of our sense of touch and our physical capabilities. My work covers several aspects of haptic interaction, including mid-air gestures, vibrotactile feedback and ultrasound haptic interaction. I also have expertise in acoustic levitation and tangible interaction.

I have worked alongside Huawei, Nokia, and Ultraleap. Read more about my work at my personal website: euanfreeman.co.uk

Research interests

My vision is of computing devices that take advantage of our haptic perceptual capabilities, so that we experience the digital world with the same richness of experience as the physical world. Current computing devices have high definition audio and visual output, but fail to take advantage of our sense of touch. My work addresses this gap. I am generally interested in all areas of haptics, but have expertise in ultrasound haptic feedback and mid-air gesture interaction.
