这项工作提出了一种新的超声波触觉接口，以提高非视觉感知和态势感知的应用，如全自动驾驶汽车。用户研究结果（n=14）表明，与使用静态压花刺激的对照相比，动态超声刺激的性能相当。超声波接口的实用程序演示了一个原型的自主小型机器人车辆使用交叉抽象。这些努力支持应用超声波触觉来改善自主交通中的非视觉信息访问，这对盲人和视障人士、无障碍环境和人在环决策具有重要意义。
This work presents a novel ultrasonic haptic interface to improve nonvisual perception and situational awareness in applications such as fully autonomous vehicles. User study results (n=14) suggest comparable performance with the dynamic ultrasonic stimuli versus a control using static embossed stimuli. The utility of the ultrasonic interface is demonstrated with a prototype autonomous small-scale robot vehicle using intersection abstractions. These efforts support the application of ultrasonic haptics for improving nonvisual information access in autonomous transportation with strong implications for people who are blind and visually impaired, accessibility, and human-in-the-loop decision making.
