Haptic displays have been gaining more relevance over the recent years, in part because of the multiple advantages they present compared with standard displays, especially for improved user experience and their many different fields of application. Among the various haptic technologies, electroadhesion is seen as capable of better interaction with a user, through a display. TanvasTouch is an economically competitive haptic device using electroadhesion, providing an API and respective haptic engine, which makes the development of applications much easier and more systematic than in the past, back when the creation of these haptic solutions required a greater amount of work and resulted in ad-hoc solutions. Despite these advantages, it is important to access its ability to describe textures in a way understandable by the user’s touch. The current paper presents a set of experiments using TanvasTouch electroadhesion-based haptic technology to access how a texture created on a TanvasTouch device can be perceived as a representation of a real-world object.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
