A New Concept Touch-Sensitive Display Enabling Vibro-Tactile Feedback
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the concept and the characteristics of a newly developed touch-sensitive display which supports vibro-tactile feedback. This new touch-sensitive display named ‘Vibration Touch’ was developed to improve the uneasy operation of touch-sensitive displays due to lack of tactile feedback. Vibro-tactile feedback is realized by a combination of solenoid and spring which is directly attached to touch-sensitive panel. Vibration Touch is operated by a two-step input operation which enables certain operations and prevents mis-operation.

A Survey of Perceptual Feedback Issues in Dexterous Telemanipulation: Part II. Finger Touch Feedback
This paper (Part I1 of 11) surveys the existing touch display technologies in the literature. This survey indicates 5 main approaches to touch feedback, involving visual, pneumatic, vibro-tactile, electro-tactile and Neuromuscular stimulations. A pneumatics approach could use air-jets, air pockets or inflatable bladders to provide touch feedback cues to the operator. Similarly, the vibro-tactil...
متن کاملPneumatic Tactile Display Controlled by a Miniaturised Proportional Valve
In minimally invasive surgery, tactile feedback is lacking. A tactile display, consisting of a matrix of micro-actuators, represents tactile sensations on the fingertip. Miniaturising powerful, dynamic and accurate actuators with a sufficient stroke and bandwidth is a considerable challenge. The use of pneumatics is promising due to the potential for high power density. This paper discusses a p...
متن کاملEvaluation of a Vibro-Tactile Display Prototype for Physiological Monitoring
The vibro-tactile alarm was easier to learn than the auditory alarm (p<0.05). The performance of the vibro-tactile alarm was significantly better than the auditory alarm in identification rate (p<0.002) and accuracy (p<0.002). Surprisingly, the combined vibrotactile and auditory alarm was not better than the vibro-tactile alarm alone due to an increased rate of misinterpreted alarms. Most users...
متن کاملTouch Screens and Touch Surfaces are Enriched by Haptic Force-Feedback
Greek word haptikos (from haptesthai, to grasp or touch). For touch user interfaces, the term typically refers to a tactile sensation or force-feedback that users experience when touching the surface. Conventional touch screens do not provide the tactile sensation of mechanical buttons and knobs, resulting in a less satisfying experience. Haptics technology can reproduce the same feel or tactil...
متن کاملAn evaluation of a vibro-tactile display prototype for physiological monitoring.
Visual displays and auditory alarms are used to convey information on physiological variables in an operating room. However, the exponential growth in the number of physiological variables and the high probability of false alarms has amplified demands on the clinician's attention. We have extended existing tactile technology to improve situational awareness and produce a practical clinical advi...
