Design of Vibration Alert Interface Based on Tactile Adaptation Model to Vibration Stimulation

In this paper, we describe the influence of vibratory adaptation on vibration perception and its correction method. Vibration strength after change depends on the vibration frequency before change even if the vibration frequency itself does not change. We found that the higher the vibration frequency before change, the weaker the perceived vibration strength. To correct this perception gap, the frequency before change is fed back to the KI model that expresses the vibratory adaptation. We performed a simulation to show that output of the KI model is able to express changes in vibration caused by adaptation.
