Tactual. Disptays for Wearabte Computing

چکیده
This paper provides a general overview of tactual displays (i.e., devices that communicate to a user through the sense of touch) and issues concerning the development of such displays for wearable computing. A wearable tactile directional display is presented. It takes advantage of a sensory phenomenon called 'sensory saltation' and simulates directional lines and simple geometric patterns dynamically. Initial results indicate that this information is intuitive and easy to interpret even for first-time users, and interpretations are highly consistent among observers. Several applications of this tactile directional display for wearable computing are proposed.

Speech perception by congenitally deaf subjects using an electrocutaneous vocoder.
Two congenitally profoundly deaf adults were trained to perceive words through the Tacticon 1600 electrocutaneous vocoder, an artificial hearing prosthesis. The subjects learned to identify 50 words during 47 hours (Subject One) and 41 hours (Subject Two) of training, with a 41.6 percent rate of success across all sessions. Both subjects showed consistent error patterns during the training phas...
متن کاملPerirhinal cortex lesions attenuate stimulus generalization in a tactual discrimination task in rats.
Response generalization to a novel stimulus occurs when the new stimulus shares common features with the stimulus used in the original learning. Given the many recent studies suggesting that the perirhinal cortex is critical for disambiguating stimuli that share representational/perceptual elements, we hypothesize that lesions sustained to this region would attenuate response generalization. In...
متن کاملVisual versus tactual receptor preference in normal and schizophrenic children.
Receptor preferences between visual or tactual stimuli were measured in schizophrenic and normal children. 4 pairs of standardized choice situations between visual or tactual stimuli were used, with the time of engagement with either stimulus constituting the preference measure. Schizophrenic children between the ages of 7 and 9 were compared with same aged normal children. A group of retardate...
متن کاملAnalysis of Tactual Impression by Audio and Visual Stimulation for User Interface Design in Mixed Reality Environment
In a mixed-reality (MR) environment, a touchable object can be made to change its appearance when a computer-generated image (MR visual stimulation) is superimposed onto it. In this research, we conduct experiments to study the effects of MR visual and audio stimuli on the tactual impression of the “roughness” of an object. We show that MR visual stimulation alters a subject’s tactual impressio...
متن کاملAssessment techniques to evaluate tactual aids for hearing-impaired subjects.
In order to optimize the use of tactual aids for the deaf, it is important to have a battery of assessments to determine the potential contribution of the aids to acoustic perception and speech identification. We have designed such a battery to be used with young hearing-impaired children. The tasks were developed so that they could be implemented with standard audiometric equipment and applied...
