Abstract
Laterally asymmetric vibrotactile stimuli produce anisotropic or directison-dependent frictions and work as a friction display system. In this study, we showed that even symmetrical vibrotactile stimuli increased frictional perception based on the similar principle. We measured friction forces between a sliding finger pad and a contactor that was laterally vibrating at 3–5 Hz, and found that the lateral vibrations created zero relative velocity between the finger pad and the contactor and resulted in the frequent sticks between the two bodies. As a result, humans perceived stronger friction when scanning the vibrating contactor than scanning a stationary contactor.
