Development and Experimentation of an artificial system to stimulate and measure somatic-sensorial quantities
This work focuses on the study and experimentation of a system able to
reproduce tactile and force sensation. A glove equipped with a force feedback,
sensors and Electro-tactile stimulator was used for the experiments,
where a user interacts with a virtual object. Electrodes and actuators are
activated according to the information coming from the real world (position
and force of the user’s finger) and from a physical model generated by
the
computer that representing the virtual object. Therefore the computer simulates
the virtual world, and the glove the interaction with it.
