Previously we developed a method of recording haptic signals using accelerometers. This has resulted in some interesting conclusions. In this project you will continue on that developed work with the following steps:
- More elaborate user study to compare the perception of the two different signal processing methods (choosing a single axis or using a Fourier transformation method to combine 3-axis data)
- Create haptic signals by recording audio and compare user perception of these haptic signals to haptic signals created by recording accelerations
- Improve method of recording acceleration (e.g. find an optimal place on the finger, better method than using double-sided tape to connect IMU, etc.)
- Devise a method to make haptic signals velocity-dependent (e.g., in turning a knob)
- Expand the haptic signal library
