Abstract

This paper presents a tactile visualization system incorporating touch feedback to a mobile AR system realized on a handheld device. This system enables, for the first time, interactive haptic feedback though mobile and wearable interfaces. To demonstrate the proposed concept, an interactive scenario that helps a visually impaired user to recognize specific pictograms has been constructed. This system allows users to tactually recognize flat pictograms situated in the real world. Furthermore, it also opens the door to a wide range of applications which could be based on wearable tactile interaction.
