Abstract:

Our sense of touch is one of our core senses and while not as information rich as sight and hearing, it tethers us to reality.
Our skin is the largest sensory organ in our body and we rely on it so much that we don't think about it most of the time.
Tactile displays - with the exception of actuators for notifications on smartphones and smartwatches - are currently understudied and underused.
Currently tactile cues are mostly used in smartphones and smartwatches to notify the user of an incoming call or text message.
Specifically continuous displays - displays that do not just send one notification but stay active for an extended period of time and continuously communicate information - are rarely studied.
This thesis aims at exploring the utilization of our vibration perception to create continuous tactile displays.
Transmitting a continuous stream of tactile information to a user in a wearable format can help elevate tactile displays from being mostly used for notifications to becoming more like additional senses enabling us to perceive our environment in new ways.
This work provides a serious step forward in design, effect and use of continuous tactile displays and their use in human-computer interaction.
