| Popis: |
We present a shower-type tactile device, named "Jorro Beat". It enriches the music experience in the bathroom by providing tactile stimulation synchronized with music to a wide area of the skin by controlling the water flow of the shower. Our prototype device consists of a showerhead with a mechanical switch, a microcontroller, a motor driver, a DC motor and a cam that is connected to mechanical switch on the showerhead. We conducted an experiment to evaluate the performance of the device, namely bandwidth, latency and operating volume, and showed that the device has sufficient capacity for an enriching music experience, with up to 2100 beats per minute and around 54 dBA operating volume. |
