Training Factors of Vibrotactile Display for Orientation

Two sets of comparative experiments to evaluate the performance difference between the untrained and the trained subjects are presented. In the experiments orientation information were transmitted into the given tactor vibrating of a wearable vibrotactile display waist belt consisting of 12 tactors. The results show that subjects could receive vibrotactile information better and faster after training.
