Abstract

This paper examines the feasibility of language transmission through a haptic foot interface. The devices tested the placement, timing, and complexity of an array of vibrating electromagnets with the optimal device using an array of ten electromagnets placed under the arch of one foot. Moderate proficiency was reached after only an hour of training at which point the subjects were able to read a short e-mail through the device.
