We envision a future where user input does not rely on visual attention. Imagine how drivers can feel a button click without needing to see it – that's the power of touch. Similar to how drivers rely on tactile feedback to confirm button presses without looking, we can offload visually dependent information to haptic feedback.
As a first step, we present the STButton, which utilizes 2D spatio-temporal haptics to convey system state and user input state, thereby minimizing the need for visual focus.
