Touch is acknowledged as an important and often underutilized sense in human-computer interaction. In this study a method to present time with vibrotactile pulse sequences was developed and tested. The study answers two questions, namely how to communicate the time with vibrotactile signals only, and how can people understand the signals with and without training? Two experiments were conducted to reveal how accurately people can read time from simple sequences of vibration, and how training affects the recognition rate. It was found that the average recognition rate for untrained participants was 80% while a short training increased it to 88%. Generally, minute part in the vibrotactile sequence caused most errors both with and without practice compared to hour part. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
