본 연구는 피부에 가해지는 직물촉각 자극에 따라 나타나는 정서와 관련된 뇌파특징을 알아보려는 기초연구이다. 실험l에서는 촉각에 의한 정서가 생리적인 측정치를 통해 구분될 수 있는지를 알아보고자, 피험자에게 물리적 특성이 극단적으로 다른 자극을 선택하여 실험을 실시하였다. 20명의 대학생 치험자 (20-25세)에게 자극이 무선적으로 제시되었고, 각 자극제시후 피험자는 제시자극에 대한 느낌을 주관적 정서척도로 평정하였다. 뇌파는 양쪽 귓볼(A1, A2)을 기준전극으로 하여 F3, F4, C3, C4, T4, P3, P4, O1, O2에서 측정되었고, 측정된 뇌파는 FFT방법으로 분석되었다. 각 피험자의 주관적 평가 결과에 따라 가장 쾌한 자극과 가장 불쾌한 자극이 제시되었을 때 측정한 뇌파의 분석결과를 비교하였다. 전두엽, 두정엽, 후두엽 영역에서 쾌자극 제시시에 alpha파가 유의미하게 높은 값을 나타내었고, 후두엽 영역에서 불쾌자극 제시시 beta가가 유의미하게 높게 나타났다. 물리적 특성이 유사한 다섯 가지 직물자극을 가진 실험 ll에서와 유사한 절차에 다섯 가지 직물자극을 가진 실험 1에서와 유사한 절차에 의해 실험ll가 실시되었다. 실험l의 결과에 근거하여 측정 부위를 F3, F4, P3, P4, O1, O2로 축소되었다. 쾌자극 제시시의 뇌파는 불쾌자극 제시시보다 slow alpha(8-10Hz)파의 출현량이 많은 반면, slow beta(13-20Hz)파의 출현량은 적었다. 결론적으로 직물촉각자극에 의해 유발되는 심리적 반응에 특정적인 뇌파반응이 존재하며, 이는 촉각에 의해 유발되는 주관적인 쾌.불쾌정서를 객관적으로 측정하기 위한 지표로서 뇌파특징을 사용할 수 있음을 의미한다.

인간의 정서를 분류하려는 노력은 오래전부터 있어왔다. 시각 및 청각 자극을 사용한 심리생리적 정서연구는 최근에 들어 활발하게 이루어지고 있으나, 촉각 자극을 사용한 정서연구는 찾아보기 힘들다. 본 연구는 피부에 가해지는 다양한 자극에 따라 나타나는 정서와 관련된 뇌파특징을 측정하고자 하는 기초연구이다. 물리적 특성이 다른 다섯가지의 직물자극을 20명의 대학생 피험자(20-25세)에게 무선적으로 제시하였다. 각 자극의 제시시간은 1분이었으며, 자극간 간격은 3분이었다. 각 자극제시후 매자극후 피험자는 제시자극에 대한 느낌을 주관적 정서척도로 평정하였다. 뇌파는 양쪽 귓볼(A1, A2)을 기준전극으로 하여 좌.우반구의 전두엽(F3, F4), 두정엽(P3, P4), 후두엽 (O1, O2)에서 측정되었고, 측정된 뇌파는 FFT방법으로 분석되었다. 각 피험자의 주관적 평가의 결과에 따라 가장 쾌한 자극과 가장 불쾌한 자극이 제시되었을 때 측정한 뇌파의 분석결과를 비교하였다. 쾌자극 제시시의 뇌파는 불쾌자극 제시시보다 slow alpha(8-10Hz)파의 출현량은 적었다. 결론적으로 직물촉각자극에 의해 유발되는 심리적 반응에 특정적인 뇌파반응이 존재하며, 이는 촉각에 의해 유발되는 주관적인 쾌.불쾌정서를 객관적으로 측정하기 위한 지표로서 뇌파특징을 사용할수 있음을 의미한다.

본 논문에서는 분산 촉각 가상 환경(DHVE; Distributed Haptic Virtual Environments)에서 촉각(haptic) 데이터가 어느 정도의 네트워크 트래픽을 가지며 또 효율적으로 통신 하는지에 대하여 실험하고 그 결과를 기술한다. 본 연구에서 제시하는 실험 데이터는 차세대 인터페이스로 떠오르는 촉각 장치의 높은 전송량과 실시간성을 요구하는 데이터가 분산 환경에서 서비스될 때 어떤 문제점을 가지는지에 대한 실질적이고 의미 있는 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다. 본 논문을 통해 우리는 기존의 분산 가상 환경들의 주요 논쟁점인 확장성(scalability), 안정성(safety) 등이 촉각 가상 환경에서는 어떻게 달라지는지 예측하고, 분산 가상 환경에서의 촉각 장치 활용의 유용성, 효율적인 네트워크 사용 방법, 촉각 기반 가상 환경이 구동될 수 있는 최저의 조건에 대해 고찰해 볼 수 있다. 본 논문은 차세대 인터페이스인 촉각 장치를 기존의 시스템에 안정적으로 추가하는 작업에 도움을 주며, 미래의 실감형 네트워크 가상 현실(Immersive Network Virtual Environment) 연구에 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

This paper proposes a mobile navigation system which haptically presents the way to go to visually impaired persons. In order to convey the tactile information to the visually impaired persons, we develop a new tactile module with a solenoid, a permanent magnet and an elastic spring. Furthermore, we suggest 2D vibration flow which originates from one point and gradually propagates to other points on a surface of the haptic navigation system. The tactile module and the vibration flow method are incorporated into the proposed haptic navigation system and they stimulate the user's finger pad and palm, respectively. We conduct experiments to investigate that the proposed navigation system haptically provides the direction to the users. From the experimental results, we verify that the proposed system can generate enough tactile sensation to guide the direction to go in real-time.

Tactile acuity was assessed in groups of control, blind, deaf, and blind caused by complication to investigate the effective tactile stimuli on tactile sensory substitution studies when tactile display is applied to persons with sensory loss of vision or hearing. Two-point discrimination and grating resolution were assessed by compass and JVP dome, respectively, in the hand, arm, neck, lumbar, and knee. In two-point discrimination by compass, control group showed the highest sensitivity in fingers among assessed body areas but did not show any significant difference between male and female. Blind group and deaf group compared to control group did not show any significant difference in fingers but showed lower sensitivity in arm and knee. In grating resolution by JVP dome, control group did not show any significant difference among five fingers as well as between male and female. Blind group showed higher sensitivity in five fingers compared to control group, but deaf group did not show any significant difference from control group. Blind caused by complication group showed lower sensitivity in two-point discrimination and grating resolution compared to control group and blind group. These results suggest that the body area and method of tactile stimulation, and difference in tactile acuity depending on underlying disease of sensory loss should be considered when tactile display is applied for sensory substitution.

With rapid development in ultra fast communication and digital multimedia, the realistic broadcasting technology, that can stimulate five human senses beyond the conventional audio-visual service is emerging as a new generation broadcasting technology. In this paper, we introduce a haptic broadcasting system and related core system and component techniques by which we can 'touch and feel' objects in an audio-visual scene. The system is composed of haptic media acquisition and creation, contents authoring, in the haptic broadcasting, the haptic media can be 3-D geometry, dynamic properties, haptic surface properties, movement, tactile information to enable active touch and manipulation and passive movement following and tactile effects. In the proposed system, active haptic exploration and manipulation of a 3-D mesh, active haptic exploration of depth video, passive kinesthetic interaction, and passive tactile interaction can be provided as potential haptic interaction scenarios and a home shopping, a movie with tactile effects, and conducting education scenarios are produced to show the feasibility of the proposed system.

The purpose of this research was to determine whether multimodal cues in an online shopping environment could enhance tactile consumer mental imagery, purchase intentions, and attitudes towards an apparel product. One limitation of online retail is that consumers are unable to physically touch the items. However, as tactile information plays an important role in consumer decisions especially for apparel products, this study investigated the effects of multimodal cues on overcoming the lack of tactile stimuli. In experiment 1, to explore the product, the participants were randomly assigned to four conditions; picture only, video without sound, video with corresponding sound, and video with discordant sound; after which tactile mental imagery vividness, ease of imagination, attitude, and purchase intentions were measured. It was found that the video with discordant sound had the lowest average scores of all dependent variables. A within-participants design was used in experiment 2, in which all participants explored the same product in the four conditions in a random order. They were told that they were visiting four different brands on a price comparison web site. After the same variables as in experiment 1, including the need for touch, were measured, the repeated measures ANCOVA results revealed that compared to the other conditions, the video with the corresponding sound significantly enhanced tactile mental imagery vividness, attitude, and purchase intentions. However, the discordant condition had significantly lower attitudes and purchase intentions. The dual mediation analysis also revealed that the multimodal cue conditions significantly predicted attitudes and purchase intentions by sequentially mediating the imagery vividness and ease of imagination. In sum, vivid tactile mental imagery triggered using audio-visual stimuli could have a positive effect on consumer decision making by making it easier to imagine a situation where consumers could touch and use the product.

This paper presents a vibrotactile space mouse which use pin-type vibrotactile display modules and a gyroscope chip. This mouse is a new interface device which is not only an input device as an ordinary space mouse but also a tactile output device. It consists of a space mouse which use gyroscope chip and vibrotactile display modules which have been developed in our own laboratory. Lately, by development of vibrotactile display modules which have small size and consume low power, vibrotactile displays are available in small sized embedded systems such as wireless mouses or mobile devices. Also, development of new sensors like miniature size gyroscope by MEMS technology enables manufacturing of a small space mouse which can be used in the air not in a plane. The vibrotactile space mouse proposed in this paper recognizes motion of a hand using the gyroscope chip and transmits the data to PC through Bluetooth. PC application receives the data and moves pointer. Also, 2 by 3 arrays of pin-type vibrotactile actuators are mounted on the front side of the mouse where fingers of a user's hand contact, and those actuators could be used to represent various information such as gray-scale of an image or Braille patterns for visually impared persons.
