Title
Tactile Rendering With Shape-Memory-Alloy Pin-Matrix
Abstract
This paper presents a novel pin-matrix tactile-display device that exhibits some advantageous features for the blind: low cost, lightweight, compactness, and high portability. The prototype consists of 64 tactile pins actuated by shape memory alloys with 2.6-mm spatial resolution (Braille-like). Unlike existing devices, the full display weighs only 200 g, and its compact dimensions make it easy to...
