High Resolution, Robust Tactile Displays that Convert Small Lateral Vibration into Large, Vertical Vibration
The approach:ΓÇóComprises the use of vibrational tactile displays that convert small displacements into larger ones using a scissor-like mechanismΓÇóSignificantly reduces size constraints as observed with conventional approachesΓÇóEnables conveying the information through a sense of touchΓÇóAllows for use of compact, high resolution, and rapidly-refreshable tactile displays; capable of withstanding the applied forcesΓÇóWould be commercially useful for the following applications:o Military applications: Tactile displays integrated into a uniform, strapped onto userΓÇÖs body parts, integrated onto military hardware to provide information silently and/or in darknesso Civilian applications: Drawing driverΓÇÖs attention to an upcoming road hazards
