Haptic communication system using cutaneous actuators for simulation of continuous human touch
摘要
說明書
A psychophysical model including a preferred overlap time and preferred duration time (d) was determined for more continuous and pleasant touch. In one embodiment, the preferred overlap time of the haptic sensations generated by consecutive cutaneous actuators increases as a duration time of the haptic sensations generated by each cutaneous actuator increases. For example, the preferred overlap time of the first haptic sensations and the second haptic sensations may be a function of 0.169 times a duration time of the first haptic sensations. The overlap time may be determined as a function of the duration time (d): 0.169×d+k, where k is a constant. In one example, k may equal 46.05. The preferred overlap time for more pleasant touches was determined to vary with duration time d, but not as much with frequency or amplitude.
