Tactile-Sight: A Sensory Substitution Device Based on Distance-Related Vibrotactile Flow

Abstract: Sensory substitution is a research field of increasing interest with regard to technical, applied and theoretical issues. Among the latter, it is of central interest to understand the form in which humans perceive the environment. Ecological psychology, among other approaches, proposes that we can detect higher-order informational variables (in the sense that they are defined over substantial spatial and temporal intervals) that specify our interaction with the environment. When using a vibrotactile sensory su… Show more

“…The present research gives relevant directions for the design of tactile navigation devices. As a few other researchers in the domain of tactile displays have previously argued (Cáncar, Díaz, Barrientos, Travieso, & Jacobs, 2013;Díaz, Barrientos, Jacobs, & Travieso, 2012;Nagel et al, 2005), we believe that coupling the device stimulation with the user's action is highly beneficial. Even if this coupling is not as continuous as in unenhanced perception, it allows the user to actively search for goal-relevant information from the circular causality between perception and action (e.g., Gibson, 1966).…”

“…From such studies, it appears that subjects can interpret a spatiotemporally-varying vibration stimulus as a cue concerning the approach of a target. In 2013, more specific and complete evidence emerged stating vibrotactile flow fields may be useful for conveying looming (Cancar, Diaz, Barrientos, Travieso, and Jacobs, 2013). Cancar et al asked 12 subjects to estimate time-to-contact of a radially-expanding tactile or visual flow field representing a simulated sphere approaching.…”

“…One drawback to positioning an electrode grid on the surface of the tongue, is that its usage would restrict normative tasks, such as conversing and eating. Stimulating gloves (Meers and Ward, 2005), headbands (Kajimoto et al, 2006), vests (Jones et al, 2006;Cancar et al, 2013), and belts (Van Erp et al, 2005) have also been explored for navigational, kinesthetic and vision reproduction purposes. The developments of methods such as electronic skin (Fu et al, 2018) will open new frontiers in tactile-based sensory substitution devices.…”
