ABSTRACT
We present the PhantomStation, a novel interface that communicates tactile feedback to remote parts of the user's body. Thus, touch input on interactive surfaces can be augmented with synchronous tactile sensations. With the objective to reduce the number of tactile actuators on the user's body, we use the psychophysical Phantom Sensation (PhS) [1]. This illusion occurs when two or more tactile stimuli are presented simultaneously to the skin. The location of the pseudo-tactile sensation can be changed by modulating intensity or interstimulus time interval. We compare three different actuator technologies to recreate the PhS. Furthermore, we discuss how remote tactile of this kind can improve interaction accuracy. We present our prototype and propose scenarios in conjunction with interactive surfaces.

Vibrotactile Funneling Illusion and Localization Performance on the Head
CHI '20: Proceedings of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThe vibrotactile funneling illusion is the sensation of a single (non-existing) stimulus somewhere in-between the actual stimulus locations. Its occurrence depends upon body location, distance between the actuators, signal synchronization, and intensity. ...
Body-Penetrating Tactile Phantom Sensations
CHI '20: Proceedings of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIn tactile interaction, a phantom sensation refers to an illusion felt on the skin between two distant points at which vibrations are applied. It can improve the perceptual spatial resolution of tactile stimulation with a few tactors. All phantom ...
Tactile Information Transmission by 2D Stationary Phantom Sensations
CHI '18: Proceedings of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsA phantom sensation refers to an illusory tactile sensation perceived midway between multiple distant stimulations on the skin. Phantom sensations have been used intensively in tactile interfaces owing to their simplicity and effectiveness. Despite that,...
