Control of ridge by using visuotactile cross-modal phenomenon

Published: 11 November 2012 Publication History

Abstract

Currently, touch panels are used in many devices, and there have been many proposals to add tactile sensation to touch panels, which require additional electro-mechanical components. In this paper, we propose a simple method of adding a tactile sensation of a ridge, using just a thin sheet. The sheet has ridges that are haptically imperceptible, but once a visual cue such as a line is presented, visuotactile cross-modal response induces a haptic ridge. We tested the effects of the visual cue and height of the ridge. The result showed that the visual cue definitely enhances feeling of a ridge.
