Vibrotactile Motorcycle Navigation
نویسنده
چکیده
Navigation devices for cars are ubiquitous and become increasingly popular for motorcyclists as well. The motorcycle navigation devices were optimized for motorcyclists regarding their range of functions, but the interaction with these navigation devices are not optimized for motorcyclists. In this thesis, we explore vibrotactile feedback for motorcycle navigation. We evaluated the vibration that is generated by the motorcycle with different motorcycles and riders, and found that the best location for providing vibrotactile feedback is the waist. We designed a prototype that is integrated into a kidney belt. We evaluated its usability in a real world driving study, comparing the vibrotactile approach to a visual approach. We found that the vibrotactile system outperforms the visual system in terms of errors made, as well as occurring distraction while driving.

Driving by the Seat of Your Pants: A Vibrotactile Navigation Study
Vibrotactile navigation systems can provide drivers with directional information while reducing annoyance from a voice that interrupts on-going music and conversations. However, little is currently known regarding the working memory processes involved in utilizing vibrotactile navigation. Prior research has demonstrated that individuals differ in their sense of direction and ability to navigate...
متن کاملA vibrotactile bracelet to improve the navigation of older adults in large and crowded environments
The decline of the cognitive abilities related to age usually determines a gradual withdrawal of older adults within the domestic walls. Part of the problem is the difficulty in navigating in large and crowded environments that may be perceived as intimidating. To alleviate this problem, we propose a vibrotactile device which can be used along with a walking assistant endowed with autonomous se...
متن کاملA Tactile Communication System for Navigation
A vibrotactile display for use in navigation has been designed and evaluated. The arm and the torso, which offer relatively large and flat surface areas, were chosen as locations for the displays. The ability of subjects to identify patterns of vibrotactile stimulation on the arm and torso was tested in a series of experiments using the vibrotactile displays. A variety of patterns of stimulatio...
متن کاملA Cost-effective Indoor Vibrotactile Navigation System for the Blind
This paper describes the development of an indoor vibrotactile navigation system for the visually impaired people. We aimed at realizing a wearable, low-cost, and effective system able to help blind users in unknown indoor environments that they might visit occasionally, such as hospitals, airports, museums, etc. The designed system implements a Bluetooth (BT) localization service, and provides...

—We investigate the use of audio and haptic feedback to augment the display of a mobile device controlled by tilt input. We provide an example of this based on Doppler effects, which highlight the user's approach to a target, or a target's movement from the current state, in the same way we hear the pitch of a siren change as it passes us. Twelve participants practiced navigation/browsing a sta...
