Consideration of body location of information transmission motor by paired comparison

Abstract

In this paper, for the purpose of transmitting the warning information to the player in the hearing impairment sports, the body placement location of the vibration motor used to transmit information was considered by paired comparison. In the experiment, the vibration motor was placed anterior carpal region, upper arm, chest, and abdomen, and it was conducted in 7 grades evaluation based on 5 evaluation items - understandability, speed of perception, discomfort, titillation, and resound. In addition, comparison with the conventional information transmission by visual was also conducted. As a result of the paired comparison experiment, it was found that the information transmission method by the vibration is more perceptible than the visual method and that the upper arm is suitable for the body placement location of the vibration motor.
