Wrist Guidance Using Direction Sensation by Multiple Vibration Stimulations

Abstract

We propose a novel method for motion guidance by creating a motion direction by using multiple vibration stimulations. In order to create the motion direction, we utilize a vibratactile illusion called Phantom Sensation. In this method, moving vibration stimulation on the user's skin, which is generated by controlled the position of Phantom Sensation, creates the motion direction. In this paper, we guide the user's wrist to the desired position using our proposal method. We control the produced direction and transmission time by the relationship between current position and desired position. We recognize that they can arrive at a desired position to move their wrist obeying the produced direction.
