The Tickler: A Compliant Wearable Tactile Display for Stroking and Tickling

摘要: We present the Tickler, a compliant wearable tactile display that creates natural-feeling stroking sensations. The current state-of-the-art of devices relies primarily on vibrotactile stimulation, which limits possible sensations can be created. There is wide range applications for mimicking sensation created by human touch, including mediated social touch and also feedback applications. Tickler employs an array parallel bars slowly move laterally over skin in different patterns. It underactuated compliant, so it with user. In this paper we describe consider preliminary user study.
