Takuma Hidaka, Yusuke Sei, Buntarou Shizuki

The vocabulary of notifications using vibration that are currently installed in mobile devices is limited, while notifications have many kinds of information that should be informed of the user. In this study, we investigated notifications using the vibration direction presented by phantom sensations, which are a type of tactile illusions. We investigated the location and duration of vibrations in which users are most likely to correctly identify notifications using vibration direction. Our study results show the best among the investigated conditions for the notification: the locations are the base of the index finger and the wrist; the duration is 1500 ms.
