We present the Tickler, a compliant wearable tactile display that creates natural-feeling stroking sensations. The current state-of-the-art of tactile devices relies primarily on vibrotactile stimulation, which limits the possible sensations that can be created. There is a wide range of applications for tactile devices mimicking the sensation created by human touch, including mediated social touch and also tactile feedback applications. The Tickler employs an array of parallel bars that slowly move laterally over the skin in different patterns. It is underactuated and compliant, so that it can move with the skin of the user. In this paper we describe the Tickler, consider possible applications and present a preliminary user study.
