Title
CollarBeat: Whole Body Vibrotactile Presentation via the Collarbone to Enrich Music Listening Experience.
Abstract
There are numerous proposals for whole body tactile displays that aim to improve the sense of immersion in audio contents. However, these devices commonly have problems, such as long setup times due to numerous actuators, and user confinement to the system. To address these issues, we proposed to present the vibration to a wide area of the body via bone conduction. In this paper, we first investigated whether presenting vibration to the bone really contributes vibration transmission to wider areas of a user's body. Next, we performed a psychophysical experiment to evaluate subjective vibration feeling with music listening experience using our setup. Results suggest that presenting vibration through the collarbone induces vibration transmission more widely through the user's body and enhances subjective music listening experience.
