Abstract:
The haptic technology takes into consideration the human sense of touch and gives a new dimension to the way people communicate. In this work, we examined how a mentor could advise speakers to control their voice pitch and volume like speak slowly, speak fast, speak loudly and speak softly using haptic feedback during their speech. We made four vibrating rhythms and conducted a user study on different people in order to know whether they can feel the difference among four vibrating patterns or not. We used mobile's phone vibrating motor, for this purpose, which was meant to give a haptic feedback to participants. Our results show that participants were able to judge the vibrating rhythms with high accuracy.
