Presenting directions with a vibrotactile torso display

Article Abstract:

The direction in the horizontal plane to which specific torso location is mapped using a 15 tactor linear display is investigated. The results show that the observed direction is toward the midsagittal plane compared to the tactor direction and these results are relevant for tactile navigation displays for visually handicapped individual or for jet pilots.
