“…Similarly, there are some examples of applying tactile transfer technology such as VR technology. Okano et al performed a large-area tactile presentation on the soles [16]. In this study, a mapping of palmar tactile sensations to the soles of the feet was demonstrated, which can be considered intuitive because of the similarity of the shapes of the palms and soles.…”

Human fingertips are densely populated with tactile receptors and are hence incredibly sensitive. However, wearing gloves on the fingers drastically reduces the tactile information available to the fingertips, such as the texture and shape of the object, and makes it difficult to perform dexterous work. As a solution, in this study, we developed a high-resolution haptic vest that transfers the tactile sensation of the fingertips to the back. The haptic vest contains 80 voice-coil type vibrators which are located at each of the two discrimination thresholds on the back and can be driven independently. The tactile sensation of the fingertips is transferred to the back using the developed haptic vest in combination with a sensing glove that can detect the pressure distribution on the finger skin at up to 100 points. Different experiments were conducted to validate the performance of the proposed haptic vest and sensing gloves. The use of the haptic vest and the sensing glove enabled the user to perceive the shape of a planar object more accurately when compared to the case where the user wore only the glove.

“…Okano et al investigated a method that presents haptic sensations received by the hand to the sole of the foot using a pneumatically driven device [17], suggesting the possibility of presenting haptic sensations without attaching a device to the hand. Kameoka et al presented the haptic sensation of fingers in VR to the face using a suction device [18].…”
