Design and perception of mobile tactile displays
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- We use haptic information to understand and interact with our surrounding environment. Haptic devices can similarly augment our understanding of both our world and digital environments by providing touch-based information and feedback. This thesis examines the design and perception of mobile tactile displays to inform the design of haptic devices that can be used outside of the lab in daily life. First, we present the design and evaluation of a 3-DoF wearable haptic device that can provide normal, torsion, shear, and vibration cues on the forearm. User studies validated that participants could perceive linear shear cues created by the device and that different actuation patterns impact cue identification accuracy. Second, we introduce and test a smartphone platform that can be used to quantify vibration thresholds. We find that the ability to perceive vibrations diminishes in the presence of both physical and cognitive activity and that cognitive activity increases response times to vibrations. Last, we develop a smartphone app that measures response times to multi-modal stimuli. We conduct a user study to measure response times in each condition and find that participants respond faster with higher levels and more types of stimuli while also having a preference toward stimuli that have slower response times. This thesis focuses on understanding the design and perception of mobile tactile displays and provides key insights for future haptic device design. The findings in this thesis can be used to design new devices that deliver touch-based feedback for human-computer interaction.
