Abstract
Along with the arrival of the information age, people have started to pay attention to user experience design based on the
human sensory organs. Instead of traditional user experience design based on vision and hearing, the experience based on
tactile feedback has gradually become the mainstream in the field of product design. With this paper, we‟re discussing the
designing and production of the haptic vest, originating in our development of the haptic navigation system. We aim to
actualize “symbolization” or “implication” of the haptic information. Haptic vest is a design of conveying electronic
information using tactile feedback, with 60 actuators. Through these actuators, haptic vest provides users with navigational
information. Thus, the vest not only serves as the medium for the actuators, the experience of tactility here comes from the
vibrations of the actuators and the information it attempts to convey.
