Enhancing Localization Performance with Extended Funneling Vibrotactile Feedback

open access: yesMultimodal Technologies and Interaction, 2023
This study explores the conventional ‘funneling’ method by introducing two extra locations beyond the virtual reality (VR) controller boundaries, terming it the extended funneling technique.

Vibrotactile information improves proprioceptive reaching target localization. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
When pointing to parts of our own body (e.g., the opposite index finger), the position of the target is derived from proprioceptive signals. Consistent with the principles of multisensory integration, it has been found that participants better matched ...

Effects of Stimulus Frequency and Location on Vibrotactile Discrimination Performance Using Voice Coil Actuators on the Forearm

open access: yesActuators, 2023
What are the effects of frequency variation of vibrotactile stimuli on localization acuity? The precise localization of vibrotactile stimuli is crucial for applications that are aimed at conveying vibrotactile information.

Vibrotactile localization on the abdomen: Effects of place and space [PDF]

open access: yesPerception & Psychophysics, 2004
In this study, we explore the conditions for accurate localization of vibrotactile stimuli presented to the abdomen. Tactile orientation systems intended to provide mobility information for people who are blind depend on accurate identification of location of stimuli on the skin, as do systems designed to indicate target positions in space or the ...

Surface waves and spatial localization in vibrotactile displays [PDF]

open access: yes2010 IEEE Haptics Symposium, 2010
The locus of vibrotactile stimulation is often used as an encoding cue in tactile displays developed for spatial orientation and navigation. However, the ability to localize the site of stimulation varies as a function of the number and configuration of the vibrating motors (tactors) in the display.

Vibrotactile Feedback Strategies for Trunk-Stabilizing Exercises in a Home-Based Scenario: Qualitative Interview Study Among Physiotherapists [PDF]

open access: yesJMIR Formative Research
BackgroundPhysiotherapy treatments frequently incorporate a combination of hands-on, therapist-led exercises and hands-off, home-based exercises, whereby patients perform exercises independently.

Absolute localization of vibrotactile stimuli on the torso [PDF]

open access: yesPerception & Psychophysics, 2008
Vibrotactile mobility systems present spatial information such as the direction of a waypoint through a localized vibration on the torso. Using these systems requires the ability to determine the absolute location of the stimulus. Because data are available only on the ability to determine the relative location of stimuli on the torso, we developed a ...

A Feasibility Study of a Vibrotactile System Based on Electrostatic Actuators for Touch Bar Interfaces: Experimental Evaluations

open access: yesApplied Sciences (Switzerland), 2021
Vibrotactile feedback is a very desirable feature for many touchscreen applications, creating a more engaging and effective user experience. Although it is common in small electronic devices, this feedback is often absent in large touchscreen devices ...
