Description:
Our goal has been to create an environment in which anyone can take advantage of tactile technology. Content that incorporates tactile sensations in addition to visual and auditory sensations will activate people’s interaction with it. On the other hand, both sensing and display are complicated to create high-quality content, and ease of use is lost. In this paper, we propose a platform that can easily develop multi-channel vibrotactile contents by utilizing existing workflows. By preparing a 4-channel fingertip-mounted vibrotactile device as a display, a high-resolution experience with less load during the experience is realized. We demonstrate sensor-based pre-recorded or real-time multi-channel tactile contents and show the concept of near-future tactile technology including use cases.
