Abstract :
The sensation of touch is divided into kinesthetic and tactile sensation. It is important for a touch sensation device to present both types of sensations. We mounted an electrotactile display on a kinesthetic display, and realized a compact display of touch sensation. This system can improve the ability to identify objects. In this paper, we evaluate the effect of integrating kinesthetic and electrotactile sensations for identifying the shape of an object
