Transmission of forearm motion by tangential deformation of the skin

Published: 08 March 2012 Publication History

Abstract

When teaching device handling skills such as those required in calligraphy, sports or surgery, it is important that appropriate arm motion is transmitted from the trainer to the trainee. In this study, we present a novel, wearable haptic device that produces arm motion using force sensation. The device produces skin deformation and a pseudo-force sensation that is similarly to the force produced when the arm is "pulled". The device generates skin deformation in four directions, and in this paper we have evaluated the device using a directions perception experiment.
