Temporal factors for vibrotactile letter reading.
Using an apparent-motion mode, the psychophysical effect of apparent movement was introduced for tactile letter reading. This mode reduces time for the tracing mode. Five temporal parameters were examined for application to actual communication. 4 subjects recognized words composed of 3 to 7 Japanese letters in about 5 seconds.
