A haptic touchscreen interface for mobile devices

Published: 09 December 2013 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper, we present a haptic touchscreen interface for mobile devices. A surface actuator composed of two parallel plates is mounted between a touch panel and a display module. It generates haptic feedback when a user input on a touch screen. The electrostatic force is generated when two parallel plates are charged and this phenomenon causes haptic feedback. When an input is detected on the touch screen, multimodal feedback that includes not only basic visual and auditory feedback but also haptic feedback occurs appropriately. Then, a user feels realistic physical feeling in the fingertips and it provides the feeing such as pressing a real keyboard. We have designed and implemented an actuator, thin and transparent, to provide haptic feedback and an interactive architecture to perform multimodal output.
