Nail-mounted tactile display for boundary/texture augmentation

Authors Info & Claims
Published:13 June 2007Publication History

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.
