Demonstration-based vibrotactile pattern authoring

We propose a vibrotactile pattern authoring method based on the user's demonstration, where a device generates a vibrotactile pattern by imitating the touch input pattern of the user. The usability of our demonstration-based method is also compared with the conventional waveform-based authoring. The results showed that our demonstration-based authoring delivered comparable or superior performance to the waveform-based method, depending on the specific design tasks.
