Abstract :
Mobile phone calls are often missed due to the user not hearing the phone ring or feeling it vibrate. We present the design of wearable textile-based electro-tactile display embedded in a wristband that can be integrated with current mobile phones and wearable computers. The display provides the user with an unobtrusive alert that is easy to distinguish. We explore several aspects of directional patterns for a design of electro-tactile stimulation while maintaining an appropriate form factor for a wristband.
