Chapter 7: Wearable haptics
Yuichi Kurita Graduate School of Advanced Science and Engineering, Hiroshima University, Higashihiroshima, Japan
Abstract
Haptic display represents a promising interface for human–computer interaction tools that provides users with nuanced information in a virtual environment. Humans utilize tactile and haptic information to determine object properties using thousands of mechanoreceptors located in the hands. Various haptic illusions can also be created by applying vibration and/or deformation to tactile mechanoreceptors. This chapter describes the state-of-the-art in wearable haptic display devices. Improving haptic and tactile sensory capability would help to enhance motor performance. Such devices could ...
