Title
Tactile Icon Design Using a Vibration Actuator in Mobile Devices
Abstract
This study presents three attributes for composing vibration patterns: Rhythm, intensity difference, and continuous variation in intensity. The intervals and the duration of the vibrations offer the elements of rhythm; intensity difference, and continuous variation in intensity, which add a second dimension to encoding the vibration pattern. Based on the attributes, fourteen vibration patterns were encoded according to four rhythm and four different intensity types. Rhythms are composed of two vibration durations and one interval. Intensity types are High intensity, Low intensity, Strengthening, and Weakening. The results achieve 78.57% accuracy for the overall vibration patterns. Intensity differenceshave a correct rate of 80.89%. The results for recognition of rhythm typesare 90.97%. The result shows that people can really differentiate rhythms and intensity by using their tactile senses, but this has limitations. This research provides guidelines for vibration pattern design, and a third scenario for non-visual interaction.
