Haptic interactions, such as touching an object in virtual reality, involve detecting a plethora of sensations through the skin. Whilst tactile displays exist to simulate and manipulate all of these cues individually, little progress has been made constructing devices that can control multiple cues simultaneously. This paper presents a tactile display technology that offers both softness and temperature change. A prototype display, based on particle jamming and the thermal transfer of heated and cooled water, is evaluated in terms of its ability to change both stiffness and temperature. Mechanical evaluations demonstrate controllable stiffness increase of 300%, whilst thermal characterisation showed strong surface uniformity and a range of achievable temperatures from 10°C up to 50°C, with closed-loop control maintaining a 0.2°C error from a setpoint. This work advances the design of multimodal tactile displays with applications to perceptual research, medical simulation, and affective haptics.
