Seeing is Feeling

We propose a new haptic display that enables mutual understanding of haptic sensation between the wearer and an observer. In addition to presenting haptic sensations by inducing skin deformation, we have achieved creating a mutual understanding of the sensations with the observer by making the haptic stimulus evident. The system is composed of a part that provides haptic stimulus while creating visible skin deformation, and a mechanical structure that visually exaggerates the deformation.
