Abstract:
The authors have studied new mode of cutaneous sensation characteristics on finger pads toward an accurate physical-line presenting computer-human interface. A series of psychophysical experiments were carried out on motion perception characteristics with the raised dots sliding on finger pads. As a result, it was found that there were two kinds of modes with the perception: (1) dot-counting mode, (2) raised-dots sliding-speed perceptual mode. The first mode worked in the long period of dot spacing and in the low sliding speed conditions, and showed such a high accuracy as a proprioceptive-sensation-based fingertip motion perception. The second mode worked in the short period or in the high speed conditions, and suffered ill performance similar to sliding flat surface.
