Stereo vibration is an innovative vibrotactile technology that extends the conventional phantom sensation to the surrounding space, representing a virtual vibration source in the external environment. This vibrotactile localization technology is expected to be combined with stereophonic sound to reinforce each other’s localization performance through multimodal perception and to be applied to enhance the reality of virtual reality. This paper reports the analysis of the interaction between stereophonic sound and stereo vibration in localization based on the results of an experiment to identify the travel paths of a virtual vibration source represented by a bracelet-type device and a virtual sound source represented by an earphone.
