“…Interpretation is also dependent on other characteristics of the tactile patterns regarding tactile salience (Hancock et al, in press;Mortimer et al, 2011). It is worth noting that only two to four signals were used; however operator accuracy of tactile signal interpretation was high.…”

Abstract. Cognitive demands on dismounted Soldiers are ever increasing. This is an investigation into using gestural controls and a tactile display vest to reduce cognitive, physical, and temporal demands as relevant to covert communications and robot control. Data was collected on 31 Soldiers for this experiment-based evaluation consisting of task demands of a typical rural reconnaissance patrol deconstructed into specific tasks involving a platoon leader role, a squad leader role, and a robot controller role. Results found that use of an instrumented glove and a tactile display vest was associated with a higher average percentage and faster average speed of signal detections when compared to traditional hand and arm signals. Glove-based robot control was also compared with traditional methods and evaluated.

“…It should simply be noted that these distinctions exist on a continuum, and this continuum of gesture set complexity will greatly moderate the results with regard to recognition effectiveness. This issue is very much related to concepts of visual salience (St Clair et al 2011b) and tactile salience (Mortimer et al 2011).…”

“…We have previously reported on our work using an array of eight lightweight vibrotactile actuators (tactors) mounted in a lightweight, stretchable belt -this approach represents a useful compromise between localization accuracy and resolution [17]. Our current tactor belt design incorporates 8 EMR tactors as shown in Fig.…”

This paper describes development of an activity based, multimodal balance rehabilitation training device. Various sensors can be used, including a force plate, inertial sensors, and depth sensing cameras, and various combinations of visual, auditory and tactile feedback can be configured depending on the rehabilitation task and activity. Tactile feedback is presented via a lightweight belt that is worn on the torso. Generally, visual feedback is only needed at the start of rehabilitation training (task orientation) while tactile feedback may be used to augment balance control. Tactile feedback can be configured as a cue that certain movement targets or limits have been reached or as an immediate indicator of the variance in postural sway. Tactile feedback allows the subject to naturally concentrate on the functional rehabilitation task, and is less reliant on visual or verbal cues.
