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...

Static and dynamic tactile directional cues experiments with VTPlayer mouse

Braille cells have good potential to provide information. Users don’t have to know the braille alphabet to be able to use them. In this study we show that it is possible to create 4×4 patterns to give the users some directional information. Two kinds of icons have been designed: static patterns and dynamic ones (animations). It appears that users rather like, and recognize better static icons.

Tactile Stimulation and Consumer Response

Tactile behavior is a basic communication form as well as an expression of interpersonal involvement. This articie presents three studies offering evidence for the positive role of casual interpersonal touch on consumer behavior. iVIore specifically, it provides initial support for the view that tactile stimulation in various consumer behavior situations enhances the positive feeling for and ev...

Tactile 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...
