title = "SmartTouch - Augmentation of skin sensation with electrocutaneous display",
abstract = "An electrocutaneous display system composed of three layers is implemented for augmentation of skin sensation. The first layer has electrodes on the front side of a thin plate, the second has optical sensors on the reverse side of the plate, and the third is a thin film force sensor between the other two layers. Visual images captured by the sensor are translated into tactile information, and displayed through electrical stimulation. Thus, visual surface information can be perceived through the skin while natural tactile sensation is unhindered. Based on the sensor the user can {"}touch{"} other modalities of surface information as well.",
