When interacting with materials, we infer many of their properties through tactile stimuli. These stimuli are caused by our manual interaction with the material, they are therefore closely coupled to our actions. Similarly, if we are subjected to a vibrotactile stimulus with a frequency directly coupled to our actions, we do not experience vibration - instead we experience this as a material property. My thesis explores this phenomenon of 'material experience' in three parts. Part I contributes two novel devices, a flexible phone which provides haptic feedback as it is being deformed, and a system which can track a finger and simultaniously provide haptic feedback. Part II investigates how vibration is perceived, when coupled to motion: what are the effects of varying feedback parameters and what are the effects of different types of motion? Part III reflects and contextualizes the findings presented in the previous sections. In this extended abstract I briefly outline the most important aspects of my thesis and questions I've left unanswered, while also reflecting on the writing process.
