Abstract

This paper presents a technique to add the tactile cues of real buttons to virtual buttons displayed on mobile devices with touch screens. When the user's finger is on the display, tactile feedback coveys a feeling of button location and activation. We describe two implementations of the technique, using a personal digital assistant (PDA) and a pressure sensitive tablet.

Investigating the effectiveness of tactile feedback for mobile touchscreens
CHI '08: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

This paper presents a study of finger-based text entry for mobile devices with touchscreens. Many devices are now coming to market that have no physical keyboards (the Apple iPhone being a very popular example). Touchscreen keyboards lack any tactile ...
The tactile touchpad
CHI EA '97: CHI '97 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

A prototype touchpad with embedded tactile feedback is described. Tactile feedback allows the touchpad to mimic the operation of a mouse for basic transactions such as clicking, double-clicking, and dragging. A button click is achieved by increasing the ...
Tactile feedback for button GUI on touch devices
CHI EA '12: CHI '12 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

In this paper, we describe a tactile feedback for a button GUI activated by a tap gesture on mobile touch devices. We implemented a new HW platform based on a film-type actuator to obtain a large range of tactile expression. From the analysis of touch ...
