良好的社交技能是重要的，并提供一个健康，成功的生活;然而，有视觉障碍的人在与视力正常的同龄人互动时处于不利地位，因为无法获得非语言提示。本文提出了一种触觉（振动触觉）带，以帮助个人谁是盲人或视力受损的沟通非语言线索在社会交往。我们专注于非语言沟通有关的相对位置的沟通者相对于用户的方向和距离。从两个实验的结果表明，触觉带是有效的，在使用振动的位置和持续时间来传达的相对方向和距离，分别在userpsilas视野中的个人。
Good social skills are important and provide for a healthy, successful life; however, individuals with visual impairments are at a disadvantage when interacting with sighted peers due to inaccessible non-verbal cues. This paper presents a haptic (vibrotactile) belt to assist individuals who are blind or visually impaired by communicating non-verbal cues during social interactions. We focus on non-verbal communication pertaining to the relative location of the communicators with respect to the user in terms of direction and distance. Results from two experiments show that the haptic belt is effective in using vibration location and duration to communicate the relative direction and distance, respectively, of an individual in the userpsilas visual field.
