Realization of a vibro-tactile glove type mouse

Published: 18 November 2009 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper, we suggested a glove type mouse using a gyroscope sensor, an acceleration sensor, and six pin-type vibro-tactile modules. It was designed as a USB HID(human interface device) so that it can be automatically recognized and installed as a general mouse when it is plugged in PC USB socket. This mouse recognizes a user's wrist movement by the gyroscope sensor and the acceleration sensor in the glove and transmits coordinate value to the PC through wireless Bluetooth. This vibro-tactile glove type mouse accommodates all circuits and devices in the glove, implementing a wearable system. A user can use general spatial mouse without any driver or application program. However, since tactile devices are not included in the USB HID, we made an application program for vibro-tactile display so that a PC program can transmit specific vibro-tactile information to the user to represent gray scale of pictures, braille codes, directions to go, and so on.
