Optimising the Encoding for Vibrotactile Skin Reading

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference paperpeer-review

Abstract

This paper proposes methods of optimising alphabet encoding for skin reading in order to avoid perception errors. First, a user study with 16 participants using two body locations serves to identify issues in recognition of both individual letters and words. To avoid such issues, a two-step optimisation method of the symbol encoding is proposed and validated in a second user study with eight participants using the opti-mised encoding with a seven vibromotor wearable layout on the back of the hand. The results show signiicant improvements in the recognition accuracy of letters (97%) and words (97%) when compared to the non-optimised encoding.
