A New Concept Touch-Sensitive Display Enabling Vibro-Tactile Feedback

摘要

This paper describes the concept and the characteristics of a newly developed touch-sensitive display which supports vibro-tactile feedback. This new touch-sensitive display named 'Vibration Touch' was developed to improve the uneasy operation of touch-sensitive displays due to lack of tactile feedback. Vibro-tactile feedback is realized by a combination of solenoid and spring which is directly attached to touch-sensitive panel. Vibration Touch is operated by a two-step input operation which enables certain operations and prevents mis-operation.
