An Open Source Vibrotactile Haptics Platform for On-Body Applications.
Posted by Artem Dementyev, Hardware Engineer, Google Research Most wearable smart devices and mobile phones have the means to communicate with the user through tactile feedback, enabling applications from simple notifications to sensory substitution for accessibility. Typically, they accomplish this using vibrotactile actuators, which are small electric vibration motors. However, designing a haptic system that is well-targeted and effective for a given task requires experimentation with the numb...
