Abstract
Tactile feedback is important for interaction in virtual reality. Some previous works employed vibration motors for tactile display. However, it is difficult to recognize the position of vibrotactile perception because the resolution of tactile perception is not so high. Our previous works and other previous works describe that visual stimulation seemed to influence tactile perception. In this paper, we describe some experiments to verify the spatial resolution of vibrotactile perception on a forearm and a palm and to investigate the influence of visual stimulation on vibrotactile perception. The results show that visual stimulation influences the position of vibrotactile perception. From this perspective, we propose a vibrotactile display with LEDs for changing the position of vibrotactile perception.
