BodyElectric: Unlocking the Potential of Electrotactile Haptics
BodyElectric will develop a new form of haptics using electrotactile stimulation to transform our ability to incorporate tactile feedback into everyday products, to create richer interactive experiences, with lower environmental cost. Tactile haptics is a key feature of many devices, from phones to in-car user interfaces, significantly improving usability and user experience. However, touch is limited to vibration. Vibration actuators are bulky, low bandwidth, use non-sustainable materials, and only evoke a very limited set of sensations. This means we cannot make full use of our powerful touch sense and limits the applications of haptics. Electrotactile stimulation is the only effective…
