Title:
- Skeletouch: Transparent Electro-Tactile Display for Mobile Surfaces
Description:
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.
