Distilling the Underlying Dimensions of Tactile Melodies
نویسنده
چکیده
We created 59 tactile melodies by transforming pieces of music from the auditory domain to the vibrotactile domain. Sixteen observers judged these tactile melodies on a set of 16 characteristics such as ‘melodious’, ‘bombastic’, and ‘alarming’. By using advanced multivariate statistical methods, we distilled two main underlying dimensions of the tactile melodies. We interpreted these dimensions as intrusiveness and tempo. The results are important to understand the perception of tactile melodies and to support the creation of better distinguishable and recognizable tactile signals for single point tactile displays such as in mobile phones and computer mice.

Exploring melodic variance in rhythmic haptic stimulus design
Haptic icons are brief, meaningful tactile or force stimuli designed to support the communication of information through the often-underutilized haptic modality. Challenges to producing large, reusable sets of haptic icons include technological constraints and the need for broadly-applicable and validated design heuristics to guide the process. The largest set of haptic stimuli to date was prod...

متن کاملThe integration of stimulus dimensions in the perception of music.
A central aim of cognitive psychology is to explain how we integrate stimulus dimensions into a unified percept, but how the dimensions of pitch and time combine in the perception of music remains a largely unresolved issue. The goal of this study was to test the effect of varying the degree of conformity to dimensional structure in pitch and time (specifically, tonality and metre) on goodness ...

This paper presents the design and modeling of a flexible tactile sensor, capable of detecting the 2D surface texture image, contact-force estimation and stiffness of the sensed object. The sensor is made of polymer materials. It consists of a cylindrical chamber for pneumatic actuation and a membrane with a mesa structure. The inner radius of the cylindrical chamber is 2cm and its outer radius...
