Abstract
  • Relative to visual and audible communication, haptic perception is quiet, does not require eye contact, can be applied at any point on the human body, and can function in parallel with the other four human senses. Vibrotactile feedback is a method of haptic communication using vibrations applied to the skin. Vibrotactile feedback has been used successfully in several applications in the past. Cell phones vibrate on incoming phone calls, smart watches use vibrations for phone notifications, and video game controllers contextually vibrate based on virtual events. As the whole body can perceive a continuous spectrum of vibrations varying in frequency and magnitude, vibrotactile feedback has a wide range of options for how it can be applied to the human body. In this work, we present our findings of the human vibration perception ability across an array of body locations and our investigation of vibrotactile feedback as a medium for spatial perception using a mobility for people who are blind.
