Haptic devices transmit information to the user, using tactile stimuli to augment or replace sensory input. People with limited sensory abilities, such as vision or hearing can receive supplementary information by relying on them. This review analyses recent developments in haptic devices for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals by extracting the most relevant information from each of the selected papers. The process of finding relevant literature is detailed using the PRISMA guidelines for literature reviews. In this review, the devices are categorized to better understand the review topic. The categorization results have highlighted several areas of future research into haptic devices for hearing-impaired users. We believe this review may be useful to researchers interested in haptic devices, assistive technologies, and human–computer interaction.

“…Piateski & Jones [42]; Jones et al [43] composed 7 to 8 tactons with both stationary tactons that depicted a simple X-shape and the location of the center by modifying spatial parameters, and moving tactons that delivered directional information through spatiotemporal parameter variations. Reed et al [44,55,56] and Tan et al [54] proposed a tactile display delivering an extensive set of 39 tactons, each corresponding to distinct phonemes, that integrate both a stationary tacton group that describes consonants and a moving tacton group meaning vowels. Due to variations in the number of tactors used and the placement of these on different body parts compared to the single-tacton group studies mentioned earlier, direct comparison of information transfer accuracy becomes challenging.…”

Considering the ambulatory principles for the blind and visually impaired individuals (BVI), who encounter difficulties in independent walking and wayfinding, the acquisition of diverse types of information is required. For independent walking, the spatial and status information are required in addition to directional information. However, delivering information of several types poses a problem because it decreases the perception rate of the information. To address this problem, we applied a strategy that configures the group of vibrotactile information by combining both stationary and moving tactons, as opposed to using stationary or moving alone. In this study, we introduce a novel wrist-worn tactile display with eight vibrators, which can deliver easily distinguishable directional, spatial, and status information. For improving the recognition rate of information provided, the vibration patterns were categorized according to spatial characteristics and were provided to express the different types of information. Through the preliminary study, it was confirmed that the capacity of information transmission improved significantly when employing a combination of stationary and moving tactons, as opposed to relying solely on stationary or moving tactons. The effectiveness of the proposed device was evaluated through user tests with the blind and visually impaired participants. Overall, the categorized vibrotactile information was quickly identified, and it enabled the blind to walk independently without any pre-learned knowledge about the route.
