Abstract

A computer implementation of a classic memory card game was adapted to rely on touch rather than vision. Instead of memorizing pictures on cards, players explore tactile graphics on a computer-generated virtual surface. Tactile sensations are created by controlling dynamic, distributed lateral strain patterns on a fingerpad in contact with a tactile display called STRESS2. The tactile graphics are explored by moving the device within the workspace of a 2D planar carrier. Three tactile rendering methods were developed and used to create distinct tactile memory cards. The haptic memory game showcases the capabilities of this novel tactile display technology.

Analysis of a new haptic display coupling tactile and kinesthetic feedback to render texture and shape
EuroHaptics'10: Proceedings of the 2010 international conference on Haptics - generating and perceiving tangible sensations: Part II

In the domain of haptics, the sensation of touch is normally classed into two types: tactile and kinesthetic. Correspondingly, the haptic display can also be divided into two categories: tactile display and kinesthetic display. The two aspects are ...
Using a Fingertip Tactile Device to Substitute Kinesthetic Feedback in Haptic Interaction
Proceedings, Part I, of the International Conference on Haptics: Generating and Perceiving Tangible Sensations - Volume 6191

A prototype of a joystick where the kinesthetic feedback is substituted by tactile feedback is proposed. Tactile feedback is provided by a wearable device able to apply vertical stress to the fingertip in contact with the joystick. To test the device, ...
Thermoelectric Tactile Display Based on the Thermal Grill Illusion
EuroHaptics '08: Proceedings of the 6th international conference on Haptics: Perception, Devices and Scenarios

Among the challenges of haptic displays is the objective of creating a tactile language. Tactile language is used as a substitute to visual and auditory languages when either of the modalities is overloaded or impaired. Haptic displays have been ...
