| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Utilizing Haptic Feedback to Improve Touchscreen Operations.In recent years, largely due to the widespread adoption of smartphone technologies wherein screens serve as both visual output and input devices, the use of tactical sensations, or haptic feedback, in the form of vibrations has increased as never before. Device makers employ feedback to enhance users’ experiences, but it can have special applications for the visually and hearing impaired. Previous studies of haptic feedback focused on industrial settings and treated all users alike. The present study found that groups of subjects visualize specific images when provided with vibrations linked to finger operations. We also developed a tactile feedback reference model according to finger operations. This allows for more intuitive operations, regardless of users’ characteristics, by enabling them to select a component of the vibration that evokes a specific impression.
