Abstract

This paper presents a tactile device for displaying surface texture of flexible virtual objects. The texture is simulated using electrovibration effect produced by a flexible film. The deformation of the film is controlled by a DC motor to generate desired softness according to applied finger force. A prototype of the device is developed and integrated with a virtual environment. We show the application of the display using an online shopping scenario.
