Evaluation of Vibrotactile Feedback to the Human Arm
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates the main factors influencing the design of a vibrotactile feedback device for the human arm. Beside the determination of hardware settings, e.g. vibration motor type (pancake or cylindrical) and intensity threshold, this paper concentrates on the determination of spatial acuity and the division of the arm’s perimeter into sectors which can be distinguished reliably. The realisation of this research is to present collision feedback to the human arm operating in a Virtual Reality system for assembly verification.

Interfacing robotic tactile sensation with human vibrotactile perception for digit recognition
To achieve human like functionality, artificial arms are required to be incorporatedwith the sense of touch that can be achieved by affixing tactile sensors to them. The user operating these artificial arms, for any Human–Computer Interactive task, should be able to perceive the same tactile sensation as is acquired by the tactile sensor fitted artificial arms. This work is an initial step to i...
متن کاملA Low Cost Tactor Suit for Vibrotactile Feedback
We constructed low cost tactors for vibrotactile feedback across the human arm for the purpose of providing a physical sensation surrogate for virtual objects. The tactors were built from readily available commercial parts, and provide low amplitude vibration for tactile feedback. The tactors are Velcro mounted on a custom suit designed to ensure localized sensations of each tactor. The suit is...
متن کاملVirtual Training via Vibrotactile Arrays
What is often missing from many virtual worlds and training simulations is a physical sense of the confinement and constraint of the virtual environment. We present a method for providing localized cutaneous vibratory feedback to the user’s right arm. We created a sleeve of tactors linked to a real-time human model; the tactors activate to apply sensation to the corresponding body area. The hyp...
متن کاملTouch, Movement and Vibration: User Perception of Vibrotactile Feedback for Touch and Mid-Air Gestures
Designing appropriate feedback for gesture interfaces is an important aspect of user experience and performance. We conduct the first investigation of users’ perceptions of vibrotactile stimuli during touch and mid-air gesture input for smart devices. Furthermore, we explore perception of feedback that is decoupled from the smart device and delivered outside its operating range by an accessory ...
