早期的一维触觉传感器的工作表明，横向皮肤变形足以产生类似的感觉，当刷手指对一行盲文点的感觉。在这里，我们将这项工作扩展到使用称为STReSS2的通用2D触觉传感器显示完整的6点盲文字符。通过要求七位盲文阅读专家识别无意义的5个字母的字符串以及熟悉的单词来评估所产生的盲文的易读性。结果表明，阅读是困难的，但对大多数人可能的。纹理的叠加给网点的感觉提高了表现力.结果包含了很多信息，以指导设计一个专门的盲文显示器操作的横向皮肤变形。他们还认为，当使用弱触觉传感器时，对比度而不是真实性的渲染可能有助于盲文阅读
Earlier work with a 1D tactile transducer demonstrated that lateral skin deformation is sufficient to produce sensations similar to those felt when brushing a finger against a line of Braille dots. Here, we extend this work to the display of complete 6-dot Braille characters using a general purpose 2D tactile transducer called STReSS2. The legibility of the produced Braille was evaluated by asking seven expert Braille readers to identify meaningless 5-letter strings as well as familiar words. Results indicate that reading was difficult but possible for most individuals. The superposition of texture to the sensation of a dot improved performance. The results contain much information to guide the design of a specialized Braille display operating by lateral skin deformation. They also suggest that rendering for contrast rather than realism may facilitate Braille reading when using a weak tactile transducer
