Project Abstract

This projects sets out to develop and test new tactile displays for multi-user interaction. The displays will consist of wireless "tactors" that can be mounted anywhere on a user’s body to create a network of elements capable of making contact with the skin and of rendering static as well as dynamic contacts. Currently, we are studying the effects of using skin stretch as a method of tactile feedback.
