Accuracy of Velocity Perception Generated by Tactile Apparent Motion

Abstract

The objective of this study is to empirically compare the accuracy of velocity perception generated by visual apparent motion with that generated by tactile apparent motion. From the results, the subjects were able to perceive velocity information through tactile stimulus presentation more accurately than through visual stimulus presentation. When tactile stimuli were presented, the effect of apparent motion enhanced the accuracy of velocity perception; however, this was not the case when the stimulus sets were visually presented.KeywordsTactile interfaceApparent motionTactile perceptionVirtual reality
