Haptic Shoes: Representing Information By Vibration
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper undertakes a new approach transferring and representing the requested information by the design and implementation of haptic shoes. Different from the traditional method of visualisation, stock market data are conveyed to the users via the haptic shoes they wear. With the vibration devices installed inside the haptic shoes, information is communicated to the investor by wireless system. This paper describes the architecture and the operation of the whole system as well as the implementation methods.

Vibration Influences Haptic Perception of Surface Compliance During Walking
BACKGROUND The haptic perception of ground compliance is used for stable regulation of dynamic posture and the control of locomotion in diverse natural environments. Although rarely investigated in relation to walking, vibrotactile sensory channels are known to be active in the discrimination of material properties of objects and surfaces through touch. This study investigated how the perceptio...
متن کاملBrain networks involved in haptic and visual identification of facial expressions of emotion: An fMRI study
Previous neurophysiological and neuroimaging studies have shown that a cortical network involving the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), inferior parietal lobe (IPL) and cortical areas in and around the posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS) region is employed in action understanding by vision and audition. However, the brain regions that are involved in action understanding by touch are unknown....
متن کاملImproving Cyclists Training with Tactile Feedback on Feet
This paper explores how tactile feedback can support cyclist in order to fulfill user-defined training programs. Therefore, actuators are integrated in cyclists’ shoes. The rhythm the cyclist should pedal is communicated via tactile feedback so that the heart rate is kept in an interval which is, for example, optimal for increasing stamina. After a preliminary study, which was used to gather th...
متن کاملUsing Vibration Patterns to Provide Impact Position Information in Haptic Manipulation of Virtual Objects
While standard closed haptic control loop used in haptic simulation of rigid bodies are bounded to low frequency force restitution, event-based or open-loop haptic, by superimposing a high-frequency transient force pattern, can provide a realistic feeling of the impact. This high-frequency transient can provide the user with rich information about the contact such as the material properties of ...
متن کاملEarly visual experience and the recognition of basic facial expressions: involvement of the middle temporal and inferior frontal gyri during haptic identification by the early blind
Face perception is critical for social communication. Given its fundamental importance in the course of evolution, the innate neural mechanisms can anticipate the computations necessary for representing faces. However, the effect of visual deprivation on the formation of neural mechanisms that underlie face perception is largely unknown. We previously showed that sighted individuals can recogni...
