Spatial Low Pass Filters for Pin Actuated Tactile Displays
نویسندگان
چکیده
A common tactile display design uses an array of mechanical pins covered by a rubber layer which acts as a spatial low pass filter. To characterize the perceptual relationship between this rubber layer and shape rendering, we conducted psychophysical experiments to examine the perception of a vertical line stimulus felt using rubber covers of varying thickness and stiffness. We found no significant change in perception for rubber thicknesses ranging from 1.5-3.0 mm and for stiffnesses ranging from 45-200 kN/m.

متن کاملElectrostatic Adhesive Brakes for High Spatial Resolution Refreshable 2.5D Tactile Shape Displays
We investigate the mechanism, design, modeling and fabrication of a scalable high resolution, low cost and lightweight refreshable 2.5D tactile pin array controlled by electrostatic adhesive brakes. By replacing linear actuators in motorized shape displays with a high voltage solid-state circuit that can be fabricated with printable electronics techniques, we can decrease the cost and complexit...
متن کاملImproving the Performance of ICA Algorithm for fMRI Simulated Data Analysis Using Temporal and Spatial Filters in the Preprocessing Phase
Introduction: The accuracy of analyzing Functional MRI (fMRI) data is usually decreases in the presence of noise and artifact sources. A common solution in for analyzing fMRI data having high noise is to use suitable preprocessing methods with the aim of data denoising. Some effects of preprocessing methods on the parametric methods such as general linear model (GLM) have previously been evalua...
متن کاملThe Shape of Things to Come: Pin-Based Tactile Shape Displays
Tactile displays are used to convey small-scale pressure and shape information to the finger tip. Our device designs include a 1x10 pin display using shape-memory alloy actuators and a 6x6 pin display using inexpensive commercially available servomotor-gearhead packages. Our human factors studies suggest that bandwidths of about 30 Hz are required for free exploratory motions with pin-based dis...
متن کاملSensory substitution using tactile pin arrays: Human factors, technology and applications
Tactile arrays use a matrix of individually controllable elements to present spatial and temporal patterns of cutaneous information. Early devices of this type were in the field of sensory substitution to replace vision or hearing for users with a sensory impairment. Many advances have been made due to the appropriation of tactile displays for telerobotics and virtual reality, to represent phys...
