Abstract

In spite of the great potential of on-body vibrotactile displays for a variety of applications, research lacks an understanding of the spacing between vibrotactile actuators. Through two experiments, we systematically investigate vibrotactile perception on the wrist, forearm, upper arm, back, torso, thigh, and leg, each in transverse and longitudinal body orientation. In the first experiment, we address the maximum distance between vibration motors that still preserves the ability to generate phantom sensations. In the second experiment, we investigate the perceptual accuracy of localizing vibrations in order to establish the minimum distance between vibration motors. Based on the results, we derive VibroMap, a spatial map of the functional range of inter-motor distances across the body. VibroMap supports hardware and interaction designers with design guidelines for constructing body-worn vibrotactile displays.

Tactile Information Transmission by 2D Stationary Phantom Sensations
CHI '18: Proceedings of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

A phantom sensation refers to an illusory tactile sensation perceived midway between multiple distant stimulations on the skin. Phantom sensations have been used intensively in tactile interfaces owing to their simplicity and effectiveness. Despite that,...
Funneling and saltation effects for tactile interaction with virtual objects
CHI '12: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Funneling and saltation are two major illusory feedback techniques for vibration-based tactile feedback. They are often put into practice e.g. to reduce the number of vibrators to be worn on the body and thereby build a less cumbersome feedback device. ...
Extending "out of the body" tactile phantom sensations to 2D and applying it to mobile interaction

Funneling and saltation are the two major perceptual illusion techniques for vibro-tactile feedback. They can be used to minimize the number of vibrators on the interaction device in contact with the user body and thereby build a less cumbersome and ...
