Invited Lecture
"Tactile devices and the tactile communication"
Hideyuki Sawada (Kagawa University)
Abstract
Humans are able to communicate with each other by using not only verbal
media but also the five senses such as vision, audition, olfaction and
tactility, effectively using their body parts. Information transmitted through
non-verbal media directly affects our emotions and feelings, and especially
touch feeling and haptics play an important role for the emotional human
communication. In the face-to-face communication, gestures and touch
actions are effectively employed together with the information transmitted
through speech and vision, and in the conversation about an actual object,
the tactile sensation and haptics help to understand the object intuitively.
Human communication is regarded as the information transmission through
our body and sensations, and computers have recently been used as an
extensive tool for supporting the communications as human-machine
interfaces. Especially for supporting disabled and elderly people,
computers and intelligent devices are now essential tools in the daily life.
In the first part of the talk, the mechanism of tactile sensation how tactile
stimuli are physically and mechanically generated, and how they are
perceived as tactile sensation, will be discussed. A higher psychological
perception of tactile sensation such as the phantom sensation and the
apparent movement will be also introduced. Then, several examples of
tactile devices and tactile communication systems will be introduced,
together with their applications for realizing novel human interfaces and
multimodal communication systems. |
