Abstract:
Haptics is a complex sensation with pressure, temperature, vibration, and so on. Therefore developing an interface for creating or designing haptic contents is an attractive challenge. One solution is reduction and simplification of the haptic information. For example, Minamizawa et al. have simplified it as a temporal signal (sound) in TECHTILE toolkit [1]. We have inspired from handwriting motion on a skin. Our solution is a reduction to spatiotemporal information and we employ a spatiotemporal stroking trajectory on a 2D surface for a haptic content.
