Abstract

This paper undertakes a new approach transferring and representing the requested information by the design and implementation of haptic shoes. Different from the traditional method of visualisation, stock market data are conveyed to the users via the haptic shoes they wear. With the vibration devices installed inside the haptic shoes, information is communicated to the investor by wireless system. This paper describes the architecture and the operation of the whole system as well as the implementation methods.
