Abstract

In this work, we designed stylus type haptic interfaces interacting with a touch screen. There are two kinds of haptic styli termed wUbi-Pen. The type I has functions of providing vibration, impact, texture and sound and it is a stand alone system including own battery and wireless communication module. The type II does not include the texture display module and it is a miniaturized version. We present a new interaction scheme on the Windows graphical user interface based on pointer movement haptic feedback events such as clicking, drag, drop, moving and etc. In addition, a simple interactive digital sketchbook has been implemented, which is providing haptic and auditory feedback while drawing and touching objects. We also introduce a tactile image display method on a touch screen with the wUbi-Pen and a simple fitting puzzle utilizing haptic feedback events.
