Projects
Feeling the Untouchable: Haptic touch experiences for naturalistic learning
The TOUCH project will address today’s biggest sustainability challenges by bringing researchers, teachers, and students together to co-create tactile discovery experiences of the natural world. We will develop innovative teaching methods that encourage students to explore the natural world in exciting and hands-on ways, including through digital haptic interfaces.
