Touch-FX

Final report and team photo for Project 11 of ME450, Winter 2009 semesterThe goal of this project was to create a device to generate knowledge about the psychophysics of vibrotactile perception. This knowledge may be useful in establishing the effectiveness of vibrotactile devices for interpersonal communication. In particular, this device can be used to determine the ability of vibrations to induce tactile saltation for use in communication devices. This design allows the excitation of individual or multiple actuators, variability of the vibration amplitude and frequency, as well as spacing between active actuators.Brent Gillespie (Mechanical Engineering, U of M)http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/62179/2/ME450 Winter2009 Team Photo - Project 11 - Touch-Enabled Personal FX.jpghttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/62179/1/ME450 Winter2009 Final Report - Project 11 - Touch-Enabled Personal FX.pd
