Perception and Interpretation of Dynamic Tactile Stimiulation
William H. Stevenson, William J. Reaves, Wallace A. Warren · IEEE Transactions on Aerospace · 1963
This paper describes a system of tactile communications and its associated electromechanical devices. Experiments conducted in human engineering indicate that dynamic excitation of cutaneous tissues on a six point limen on the skin can be meaningfully interpreted at rates up to 1000 characters per minute. The Ste-Re System provides an easily learned, coded and decoded language of communications capable of actuating, programming and transmitting information.
