Multi Rubbing Tactile Instrument
نویسنده
چکیده
This is a report of a novel tactile musical instrument. This instrument is called "Multi Rubbing Tactile Instrument (MRTI2015)", using ten pieces of "PAW sensor produced by the RT corporation". Previous research was focused on "untouchable" instruments, but this approach is fully tactile "rub" and "touch". The ten PAW sensors are assigned on the surface of the egg-like plastic case to fit the ten fingers grasping the instrument. The controller is mbed (NucleoF401RE), and it communicates with the host PC via high speed serial (115200bps) by an MIDI-like protocol. Inside the egglike plastic case, this instrument has eight blue-LEDs which are controlled by the host in order to display the grasping nuances. The prototype of this instrument contains realtime visualizing system with chaotic graphics by Open-GL. I will report on the principle of the sensor, and details about realizing the new system.

Tactile Contact Exchanges Between Dolphins: Self-rubbing versus Inter-individual Contact in Three Species from Three Geographies
Self-rubbing and social-rubbing (pectoral fin contact between dolphin pairs) were compared for observations conducted on three dolphin study groups: wild dolphin groups in The Bahamas and around Mikura Island, Japan, and a third group of captive dolphins at the Roatan Institute of Marine Sciences, Roatan, Honduras. A primary aim of this research was to determine whether self-rubbing and social ...
متن کاملRoughness Feeling Telepresence System with Communication Time-Delay
A framework of tactile telepresence systems has been proposed in the present paper, which enables active touch with time-delay communication between a tactile sensor side system and a display side system. In the framework, a tactile display system can apply tactile stimuli to fingers of an operator in syncronization with touch motions based on physical parameters of objects which are estimated ...

متن کاملSelective effects of auditory stimuli on tactile roughness perception.
We report two psychophysical experiments designed to investigate the effects of non touch-produced sounds on the tactile perception of roughness and length. Previous studies have demonstrated that the tactile roughness perception of object surfaces is modified by sounds elicited by rubbing the surfaces. In this study, we examined the crossmodal effects of non touch-produced sounds such as white...
