2-DoF BSSD

We propose a buttock skin stretch device that adopts a two-degree-of-freedom horizontal movement mechanism. We have confirmed that an acceleration sensation of self-motion can be induced by a buttock skin stretch device with one degree of freedom. This extends the direction of skin deformation to include forward and backward directions. We evaluated the range of motion, position accuracy, and driving speed.
