Abstract
Virtual textiles, generated in response to exploratory movements, are presented to the fingertip via a 24-contactor vibrotactile array. Software models are based on surface-roughness profiles from real textiles. Results suggest that distinguishable “textile-like” surfaces are produced, but these lack the necessary accuracy for reliable matching to real textiles.
