Perception and Interpretation of Dynamic Tactile Stimiulation

This paper describes a system of tactile communications and its associated electromechanical devices. Experiments conducted in human engineering indicate that dynamic excitation of cutaneous tissues on a six point limen on the skin can be meaningfully interpreted at rates up to 1000 characters per minute. The Ste-Re System provides an easily learned, coded and decoded language of communications capable of actuating, programming and transmitting information.
