Reconsideration of ouija board motion in terms of haptics illusions (II)—Development of a 1-DoF linear rail device

Abstract

The Ouija board is a game associated with involuntary motion called ideomotor action. Our goal is to clarify the conditions under which Ouija board motion occurs, comparing visual, force, and vibrotactile cues. In this paper, we demonstrated a newly developed 1-degree of freedom (DoF) Linear Rail Device, which we used to study these ideomotor actions with less friction and inertia.
