随着计算技术的发展，越来越多的环境变得交互式。为了与这些环境交互，传统上使用2D输入和输出元件。然而，最近交互空间也扩展到3D空间，这实现了新的可能性，但也导致了在帮助用户在这样的3D空间中进行交互方面的挑战。通常，这种传达3D位置的挑战是通过视觉解决的。本文探讨了一种不同的方法：通过振动触觉指令的空间指导。因此，我们介绍了TactileGlove，一种智能手套，配备了振动触觉致动器，用于在3D空间中提供空间引导。我们贡献了一个用户研究与15名参与者，探讨如何不同数量的致动器和隐喻影响用户的性能。因此，我们发现，使用一个拉比喻振动触觉导航指令是首选我们的参与者。此外，我们发现，使用较高数量的致动器比使用较低数量时减少了目标获取时间。
With the recent advance in computing technology, more and more environments are becoming interactive. For interacting with these environments, traditionally 2D input and output elements are being used. However, recently interaction spaces also expanded to 3D space, which enabled new possibilities but also led to challenges in assisting users with interacting in such a 3D space. Usually, this challenge of communicating 3D positions is solved visually. This paper explores a different approach: spatial guidance through vibrotactile instructions. Therefore, we introduce TactileGlove, a smart glove equipped with vibrotactile actuators for providing spatial guidance in 3D space. We contribute a user study with 15 participants to explore how a different number of actuators and metaphors affect the user performance. As a result, we found that using a Pull metaphor for vibrotactile navigation instructions is preferred by our participants. Further, we found that using a higher number of actuators reduces the target acquisition time than when using a low number.
