Rotational Skin-stretch Distribution

This study aims to develop a compact, palm-free wearable system for mixed-reality environments. We propose a novel wearable system that presents the direction of force through a rotational skin-stretch distribution to the wrist by utilizing four independently controlled rotating tactors. Two control rules, local and global, are proposed to dictate the stimulus distribution. Experiments confirmed that the system could present perceived intensity and directional stimuli.
