Abstract
The correlation of human perception and emotions along with the physical characteristics of fingertip vibration was experimentally investigated. The vibrotactile stimuli under 25 different conditions (5 frequencies × 5 sensation levels [SL]) were provided to 20 subjects. The perceived magnitude and emotions were measured and analyzed based on their questionnaire answers. The results showed that the perceived magnitude is smallest at 80Hz for a given sensation level. In addition, it was found that vibrations at the fingertip could provide ‘light', ‘sensitive', ‘repulsive', ‘ticklish' or ‘exciting' feelings while it fails to provide the positive feelings such as ‘satisfying', ‘enjoyable', ‘likable' and ‘pleasing'. Guidelines for vibrotactile rendering of emotions through the fingertip were established based on these findings.
