ABSTRACT
We developed a device that can superimpose tactile information onto an object displayed on a computer monitor. With this device, we can present tactile sensations of boundaries or textures corresponding to the visual image. The device is composed of a small voice coil, and the tactile sensations are generated by controlling the modulation of the waveforms. For demonstration proposes, the device is integrated with a tool that allows users to draw a picture easily with their fingertips while experiencing tactile feedback.

Analysis of a new haptic display coupling tactile and kinesthetic feedback to render texture and shape
EuroHaptics'10: Proceedings of the 2010 international conference on Haptics - generating and perceiving tangible sensations: Part IIIn the domain of haptics, the sensation of touch is normally classed into two types: tactile and kinesthetic. Correspondingly, the haptic display can also be divided into two categories: tactile display and kinesthetic display. The two aspects are ...
Psychophysical Measurement of Multiple Tactile Sensations Using a Broadband Vibrotactile Display
ISUC '08: Proceedings of the 2008 Second International Symposium on Universal CommunicationTo improve the amount of transmitted information via a sensory substitution system, we examined tactile perception characteristics of the index finger while presenting broadband vibrotactile stimuli. A pin-matrix tactile display composed of 12 ...
Electrostatic tactile display with thin film slider and its application to tactile tele-presentation systems
VRST '04: Proceedings of the ACM symposium on Virtual reality software and technologyA new electrostatic tactile display is proposed to realize compact tactile display devices that can be incorporated with virtual reality systems. The tactile display of this study consists of a thin conductive film slider with stator electrodes that ...
