Title
Empirical Studies for Effective Near-Field Haptics in Virtual Environments
Abstract
This paper presents results from two experiments intothe use of vibrotactile cues for near-field haptics invirtual environments. In one experiment, subjects weretested on their ability to identify the location of a one-secondvibrotactile stimulus presented to a single tactorof a 3-by-3 array on their back. We recorded an 84%correct identification rate. In a second experiment,subjects were asked to match the intensity of avibrotactile stimulus presented at one location with theintensity at another location. We found that subjects couldmatch the intensities to within 7Hz if the reference andadjustable stimuli were presented at the same location,but only to within 18Hz otherwise.
