| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Floating images created by DCRA devices are suitable for combining with haptic stimulation, since the floating image is stationary in the air and can be examined by fingers. In our research we have developed a haptic stimulation method, using a rapidly moving transparent panel that can be moved into the floating image or removed. This "floating touch" method allows haptic stimulation of the user's finger at any position in the image plane.
We have examined the human perception to various combinations of floating images with floating touch stimulus. We have found that recognition of position, shape, and texture is possible with some limitations. This result indicates that "floating touch" can be an effective method of adding one more information channel to enhance the user experience in many fields, including evaluating complex medical information. We also see the possibility of commercial use in entertainment and games.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
空中映像と空中触覚のマルチモーダル刺激に対する人の認知性能について基礎データが得られた。触覚提示の位置特定、提示した形状およびテクスチャの認識について定量的な結果が得られた。
開発した実験装置で今後は更に詳細な情報を収集し、空中触覚のコンテクスト依存、時間的な特製、また触覚と視覚のドミナンス関連等について多くの心理実験を行う事を予定している。
