| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The research purpose is to establish a technique to guide body movement. In this study, a method for guiding the body motion in a desired direction using tactile stimulation was studied. A tactile stimulation plate with easy detachability was developed. A body guidance system has been constructed that presents the tactile stimulation pattern from the tactile stimulation plate in conjunction with the body motion. Four tactile stimulation plates were worn around the user's abdomen (trunk). Physical behavior associated with various tactile stimulation patterns presented from the four tactile stimulation plates was measured. Measurement data was analyzed in time series of single trials, and the effect on body movement was visualized.
The relevance between tactile stimulation and physical behavior was carefully examined, and a path toward the practical application of a tactile display type body guiding device was shown.
