聋盲是一种独特的残疾，其特征是听觉和视觉的双重感觉减少。对于一些聋哑人来说，通过触摸进行交流可能是他们最容易获得的感官通道。在聋盲社区中存在多种纯粹依赖触摸的技术。一种有趣的方法在澳大利亚被称为“聋盲触觉手指拼写字母表”，在英国被称为“聋盲手动字母表”，包括二十六个代表拉丁字母的触觉符号。这封信描述了HaptiComm，一种旨在重现手指拼写通信过程中产生的感觉的设备。HaptiComm包括一个由24个战略性放置的电动致动器组成的阵列，这些电动致动器专门设计用于产生不同的触觉，并在触觉上构建手指拼写字母表。第一次实验评估显示出有希望的结果，表明进一步的调查有关的时间和刺激产生的步伐。
Deafblindness is a unique disability characterized by a dual sensory reduction of both hearing and vision. For some Deafblind individuals, communication via touch may be their most accessible sensory channel. Multiple techniques that rely purely on touch exist within the Deafblind community. One method of interest referred to as “Deafblind Tactile Fingerspelling Alphabet” in Australia or “Deafblind Manual Alphabet” in the U.K., comprises twenty-six tactile symbols representing the letters of the Latin alphabet. This letter describes the HaptiComm, a device designed to reproduce the sensations generated during fingerspelling communication. The HaptiComm comprises an array of twenty-four strategically placed electrodynamic actuators specifically designed to produce distinct tactile sensations upon which the fingerspelling alphabet is constructed. The first experimental evaluation showed promising results suggesting further investigations related to the timing and the pace at which the stimuli are produced.
