Design of Cylindrical Whole-Hand Haptic Interface Using Electrocutaneous Display
نویسنده
چکیده
Precise manual work is frequently required in remote and virtual environments. Cutaneous feedback to the whole hand is a key element in achieving this goal; however, most haptic I/O systems for the hand only present haptic sensations to the tips of the fingers. I propose to use an electrocutaneous display to construct a whole-hand cutaneous feedback system. The display shape is cylindrical, to allow it to be grasped as a handle, and integrated with kinesthetic display. The prototype contains 1536 (64 24) electrodes that work both as stimulators and touch sensors.

Electrotactile Haptic Display on the Fingertips: Preliminary Results
Electrical stimulation of the sense of touch may be used to display pictorial information to blind computer users via a fingertip-scanned (haptic) touch tablet containing embedded electrodes. This might be particularly useful to users of systems with graphical user interfaces, or with drawing and layout software. Electrotactile (electrocutaneous) stimulation on the fingertip, however, differs s...
متن کاملOptimal Design Method for Selective Nerve Stimulation and Its Application to Electrocutaneous Display
We have developed a tactile display that uses electric current from the skin surface as a stimulus. Our main objective was to independently stimulate a variety of mechanoreceptors and to generate specific sensations by combining stimuli. The key to this goal is selective nerve stimulation. In this paper, a mathematical framework is build for the general design of the selective stimulation. The ...
متن کاملInterfaces for VR Applications Development in Design
VR requires the integration of different elements that deal with: data description and management, display or rendering techniques and user integration in the simulation loop. Data comprehends not only objects description and behaviour, but also display control, user interface and networking. So VR systems can grow to become very large and complex integration problems. This session shows this f...
متن کاملSmartTouch - Augmentation of Skin Sensation with Electrocutaneous Display
An electrocutaneous display system composed of three layers is implemented for augmentation of skin sensation. The first layer has electrodes on the front side of a thin plate, the second has optical sensors on the reverse side of the plate, and the third is a thin film force sensor between the other two layers. Visual images captured by the sensor are translated into tactile information, and d...
متن کامل“What You can See Is What You can Feel.” -Development of a Visual/Haptic Interface to Virtual Environment-
In this paper, we propose a new concept of visual/haptic interfaces called WYSIWYF display. The proposed concept provides correct visual/haptic registration using a visionbased object tracking technique and a video keying technique so that what the user can see via a visual interface is consistent with what he/she can feel through a haptic interface. Using Chroma Keying, a live video image of t...
