Synopsis

This book delves into the fascinating world of tactile perception and communication, exploring both fundamental research and practical applications. The author begins by tracing the history of tactile studies, from early experiments on touch to recent advances in neuroscience. The book then examines the various tactile stimuli, such as air jets and piezoelectric bimorphs, and discusses their effectiveness for different purposes. One of the most exciting applications of tactile communication is the development of devices that allow blind or deaf-blind people to access written information. The author describes several such devices and evaluates their performance. The book also explores the broader implications of tactile communication, such as its potential use in space exploration or for controlling machinery. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the importance of understanding the human tactile system in order to develop effective tactile communication systems. This book is a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and anyone interested in the field of tactile perception and communication. It provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art and offers insights into future directions for research.
