Skeletouch: transparent electro-tactile display for mobile surfaces

Authors Info & Claims
Published:28 November 2012Publication History

ABSTRACT

An electro-tactile display is a possible candidate for a truly tangible multi-touch interface for four reasons. First, it only requires an electrode substrate that can be made transparent and thin. Second, it has a potential to present high-resolution tactile information of 3mm or less, which is preferable for shape presentation. Third, it's principle is active so that it does not require user's finger motion. Fourth, the electrical stimulation can be innately used for multi-touch sensing. This paper introduces a prototype transparent electro-tactile display mounted on mobile devices.
