STReSS: A Practical Tactile Display System with One Millimeter Spatial Resolution and 700 Hz Refresh Rate
نویسندگان
چکیده
A tactile display system is described which can produce ‘tactile movies’, that is, rapid sequences of tactile images refreshed at a rate of 700 Hz. The display uses an array of one hundred laterally moving skin contactors designed to create a time-varying programmable strain field at the skin surface. The density of the array is of one contactor per millimeter square, resulting in a device with high spatial and temporal resolution. The paper describes the construction method and the drive electronics. It also reports informally on initial test patterns and on the resulting tactile sensations.

Human Tactile Spatial Sensitivity for Tactile Feedback
In this paper, we quantify several spatial capabilities of the hmnan tactile system needed for tactile feedback, or teletaction. Psychophysics experiments measure the amplitude resolution of the human tactile system, the effects of shear stress on grating orientation discrimination, and the effects of viscoelasticity {creep and relaxation) on tactile perception for static touch. The results are...
متن کاملEffects of Visual Spatio-Temporal Aliasing on Pilot Performance in Active Control Tasks
Visual display systems such as the out-the-window or head-down displays of a simulator present a visual scene that is sampled in both the spatial domain (by the display resolution) and the time domain (by the display refresh rate). For a given human visual temporal sensitivity, spatial-frequency content of the scene, and speed of the image motion, spatiotemporal aliasing can occur when the imag...
متن کاملDevelopment of a One-Dimensional Lateral Tactile Display for the Sensation of Texture Using a Speaker Array
We report the development of a tactile display made from audio speakers and aluminum plates and having high spatial and temporal resolution. Aluminum plates with thickness of 0.5 mm are attached to audio speakers and aligned at intervals of 1 mm, and skin is deformed perpendicular to the plate direction. The device presents skin deformation with a wide frequency range (10–320 Hz) when a finger ...
متن کاملDesign and Performance of a Tactile Shape Display Using Rc Servomotors
Tactile displays are used to convey small-scale force and shape information to the fingertip. We describe a 6 x 6 tactile shape display design that is low in cost and easily constructed. It uses commercially available RC servomotors to actuate an array of mechanical pins. The pins deflect a maximum of 2 mm, with a resolution of 0.1 mm. The pin center spacing is 2 mm and the pin diameter is 1 mm...
متن کاملTactile After-images from Static Contact
It is well known that human skin is a viscoelastic material , and the mechanical and electrophysiological responses to transient indentation have been studied and modelled. For tac-tile display system design, it is also important to determine the perceptual eeects, if any, of skin viscoelasticity. The spatial characteristics and sinusoidal steady state response of the sense of touch have been c...
