| Research Abstract |
We investigate tool-body assimilation resulting from experiment that to understand basic tactile perception using white canes, we compared tapping and pushing methods using the index finger and using a white cane, with and without accompanying auditory information. Results indicated that when using a white cane to estimate the hardness of a target, it is most effective to have two different modalities of tactile and auditory information derived from tapping.
