This talk is about mid-air haptics, as generated by ultrasound phased arrays, and the novel human-computer interaction (HCI) paradigms it enables, including, automotive, VR, and digital signage. Yet, there are many unexplored and unanswered questions, many of which are spread across geographic silos of academic pockets and a plethora of publications. Mid-air haptics is also hugely multidisciplinary, spanning the fields of engineering, computer science, design, neuroscience, and psychology. In this talk, I will attempt to tell the story of mid-air haptics and cover some of its foundations and challenges.
