Abstract

This study investigates methods to enhance the perceived intensity of mid-air ultrasonic tactile stimuli through the perceptual phenomenon of tactile enhancement. By presenting a brief vibrotactile stimulus to the wrist before stimulating the palm with a mid-air ultrasonic stimulus of the same frequency, we demonstrated that the perceived intensity could be increased by up to 1.7 times. A second user study further examined the effectiveness of this method, revealing that recognition of number-patterned mid-air stimuli was significantly improved by 7.8 % with the presence of wrist vibration. These findings offer promising directions for improving the usability of mid-air haptic devices using common wearable technology.

腕部振动对空中超声刺激的触觉增强：感知强度和模式识别。

本研究探讨了通过触觉增强的感知现象来增强空中超声触觉刺激感知强度的方法。在用相同频率的空中超声波刺激手掌之前，对手腕进行短暂的振动触觉刺激，我们证明感知强度可以增加1.7倍。另一项用户研究进一步检验了这种方法的有效性，结果显示，在手腕振动的情况下，对空中数字图案刺激的识别能力显著提高了7.8%。这些发现为使用普通可穿戴技术提高空中触觉设备的可用性提供了有希望的方向。

期刊介绍： IEEE Transactions on Haptics (ToH) is a scholarly archival journal that addresses the science, technology, and applications associated with information acquisition and object manipulation through touch. Haptic interactions relevant to this journal include all aspects of manual exploration and manipulation of objects by humans, machines and interactions between the two, performed in real, virtual, teleoperated or networked environments. Research areas of relevance to this publication include, but are not limited to, the following topics: Human haptic and multi-sensory perception and action, Aspects of motor control that explicitly pertain to human haptics, Haptic interactions via passive or active tools and machines, Devices that sense, enable, or create haptic interactions locally or at a distance, Haptic rendering and its association with graphic and auditory rendering in virtual reality, Algorithms, controls, and dynamics of haptic devices, users, and interactions between the two, Human-machine performance and safety with haptic feedback, Haptics in the context of human-computer interactions, Systems and networks using haptic devices and interactions, including multi-modal feedback, Application of the above, for example in areas such as education, rehabilitation, medicine, computer-aided design, skills training, computer games, driver controls, simulation, and visualization.
