| A haptic augmented reality system, SmartTouch, is composed of a thin electro-tactile display and a sensor mounted on the skin. The sensed information is converted to tactile sensation through electrical stimulation. Thus, the wearer not only makes physical contact with an object, but also can touch surface information of any modality, even those that are ordinarily nontouchable. The SmartTouch prototype has optical sensors. The authors endeavored to realize the tactile perception of luminance information, which was achieved by imitating the sensory nerve activity with electrical stimulation. |
