Behavioral analysis of users with vibro-tactile feedback
Overview:
Vibro-tactile feedback is an additional mode of interaction with the user in addition to the traditional modes of interaction - visual and voice. Vibro-tactile feedback research can be used in one of many ways, including providing an accurate sense of touch to users and sending information in the form of vibration (for example: vibration mode in cell phones).
Existing research in our lab focuses on sending information to users via vibrations. We are conducting experiments with a 3x3 matrix of sensors which vibrate in different waveforms and are studying the responses of the users. We have built a game where a user has to feel the shape projected on the set of vibrators and identify the correct shape.
Problem statement:
Find a smaller vibratory or mechanical sensor, create a 3x3 matrix of sensors. Study different signal wave forms. Comparative study with existing vibrators.
