Research on haptic glove remote interactions for international communication of deafblind

对基于触摸的输入和触觉反馈的不同技术进行了广泛的回顾。因此，采用金属化触摸板的基于接触的输入已被选择作为消息输入数据手套的基础。关于信息接收数据手套，直径在8mm到12mm之间的薄型圆形压电致动器已被确定为初始实现的良好候选者。已经进行了大量的实验，以确定产生理想触觉效果所需的最佳控制，如电压和频率。设计了一个集成控制系统，由两个微控制器板、一个功能信号发生器、一个专用压电驱动放大器和继电器模块组成，用于连接两个数据手套并进行实验。本财政年度取得的成果已在研究会议和专题讨论会上报告，并在图像信息和电视工程师学会（ITE）和电子、信息和通信工程师学会（IEICE）技术报告系列中发表。在第17届普适计算创新移动和互联网服务国际会议（IMIS-2023）上发表的一篇论文中提供了更广泛的研究成果，并在b施普林格的会议论文集中发表。

An extensive review of different technologies for touch based input and haptic feedback has been conducted. In result, contact-based input employing metalized touch pads has been selected as a basis for the message input data glove. With respect to the message receiving data glove, thin circular piezoelectric actuators sized between 8mm and 12 mm in diameter have been identified as good candidates for the initial implementation. Extensive experiments have been conducted to identify the optimal controls such as voltages and frequencies necessary for producing the desirable haptic effects. An integrated control system, consisting of two microcontroller boards, a functional signal generator, a specialized piezo drive amplifier, and relay modules have been designed for connecting the two data gloves and conducting experiments. The results obtained during the current fiscal year have been reported at research meetings and symposiums and published in the Institute of Image Information and Television Engineers (ITE) and Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE) technical report series. More extensive coverage of the research achievements is provided in a paper accepted for presentation at the 17th International Conference on Innovative Mobile and Internet Services in Ubiquitous Computing (IMIS-2023) and publication in a conference proceedings book by Springer.
