Haptic Invitation of Textures: An Estimation of Human Touch Motions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Some textures invite human touch motions in daily life, but studies on the methodology of designing such textures have just been initiated [1,2,3]. However, there is still no method of identifying various touch motions invited by these textures. For example, some textures are likely to invite stroking, while others are likely to invite pushing. We developed a Bayesian network model that represents the probabilistic relationships between texture-invited touch motions and properties of textures. We interpreted the constructed model and confirmed that the model is potentially useful for the estimation of human motions.

Humans use language to describe their perceptual experiences and communicate with others about the world. Current methods of statistical language processing aim to categorize words via occurrence and usage statistics from large bodies of text [1], an approach that elucidates important patterns but cannot alone understand the facets of language that are grounded in the human experience of the ph...

The current study assessed the relative effectiveness with which unimodal tactile, unimodal touch-produced auditory, and bimodal tactile + auditory cues contribute to the performance of an absolute texture identification task via remote touch. The study contributes to our fundamental understanding of the unimodal perception and intersensory integration of multimodal surface texture cues generat...
متن کاملHaptic Technology - A Sense of Touch
Haptics is the science of applying touch (tactile) sensation and control to interact with computer applications. Haptic device gives people a sense of touch with computer generated environments, so that when virtual objects are touched, they seem real and tangible. Haptic technology refers to technology that interfaces the user with a virtual environment via the sense of touch by applying force...

The reproduced tactile sensation of haptic interfaces usually selectively reproduces a certain object attribute, such as the object's material reflected by vibration and its surface shape by a pneumatic nozzle array. Tactile biomechanics investigates the relation between responses to an external load stimulus and tactile perception and guides the design of haptic interface devices via a tactile...
