在本文中，我们提出了一种名为“ActiveBelt”的新型可穿戴界面，使用户能够通过触觉获取多个方向信息。由于由触觉提供的信息相对不显眼，因此其适合于在移动的环境中的日常使用。然而，许多现有的系统不通过触觉传递复杂的信息。它们中的大多数只发送简单的信号，例如蜂窝电话中的振动。ActiveBelt是一种新型的带式可穿戴触觉显示器，可以传输方向信息。我们已经开发了原型系统和应用程序，评估系统的性能和可用性，并证明了实际使用的可能性。
In this paper we propose a novel wearable interface called “ActiveBelt” that enables users to obtain multiple directional information with the tactile sense. Since the information provided by the tactile sense is relatively unobtrusive, it is suited for daily use in mobile environments. However, many existing systems don’t transmit complex information via the tactile sense. Most of them send only simple signals, such as vibration in cellular phones. ActiveBelt is a novel belt-type wearable tactile display that can transmit directional information. We have developed prototype systems and applications, evaluated system performance and usability, and demonstrated the possibility of practical use.
