摘要
High-fidelity tactile rendering offers significant potential for improving the richness and immersion of touchscreen interactions.This study focuses on a quantitative description of tactile rendering fidelity using a custom-designed hybrid electrovibration and mechanical vibration(HEM)device.An electrovibration and mechanical vibration(EMV)algorithm that renders 3D gratings with different physical heights was proposed and shown to achieve 81%accuracy in shape recognition.Models of tactile rendering fidelity were established based on the evaluation of the height discrimination threshold,and the psychophysical-physical relationships between the discrimination and reference heights were well described by a modification of Weber’s law,with correlation coefficients higher than 0.9.The physiological-physical relationship between the pulse firing rate and the physical stimulation voltage was modeled using the Izhikevich spiking model with a logarithmic relationship.
