Abstract
This paper presents a hybrid tactile displaying method of realistic texture using ultrasonic vibrator and force display. The aim of this study is to display various realistic tactile senses by controlling multiple factors including roughness, softness and friction sense. First, a tactile displaying system was configured for displaying roughness, softness and friction sense simultaneously by compensating the interference among multiple parameters of ultrasonic vibration and force feedback on multiple tactile senses. Second, by conducting several sensory evaluation experiments, the relationship between each control parameter and the tactile senses were quantified. Finally, different from numbers of previous tactile displays, our tactile displaying system could successfully display various realistic tactile senses very close to the real texture of material surface.
