- Abstract
- This paper proposes a new interactive interface TAXEL, which aims at developing a reconfigurable self-morphing visio-haptic interface. We first present the overall architecture and concept of a self-morphing visuo-haptic interface. Key hardware components are developed and tested, including three tactile actuators using a piezoelectric active linear actuator, a passive MR fluid actuator, and a thin film-type actuator, respectively, and a flexible visual display based on the light-waveguide technology. Using the developed components, a tactile platform that includes a 8x16 array of the linear actuators is implemented for a proof of concept. A rendering engine is also designed for the tactile platform with emphasis on the use of haptic feedback together with GUI. We also carried out a user study with virtual button simulation as a benchmark to evaluate the performance of the TAXEL tactile platform. Lastly, an integrated system with a visual display is demonstrated along with several application examples. © 2011 IEEE.
