1P2-X07 Phantom Sensation on a Forearm Using a Vibrotactile Interface(Tactile and Force Sensing (2))

Abstract

This paper describes a wristband-type tactile interface as a user interface for industrial robot remote monitoring systems. When operating a remote monitoring system, information delivery from a local site to an operator at a remote site is important. Visual and auditory information is often used. However, perception of the information might be limited if different types of information, are delivered at the same time. To solve this problem, we propose an interface that uses an illusion phenomenon called the phantom sensation. We present a preliminary experiment of the phantom sensation for the design of a wristband-type tactile interface.
