Spatiotemporal influences on the recognition of two-dimensional vibrotactile patterns on the abdomen
This study reveals that patterns made up of several vibration points are better recognized when pattern elements are clearly isolated in time and space. The feeling of a single point moving continuously along the skin, as if the pattern was manually drawn on the skin, does not appear to favor the recognition of patterns’ shape

NAVIG: augmented reality guidance system for the visually impaired
The NAVIG system explores the use of spatial auditory perception for navigation, by presenting the user with real-time information about its trajectory, position in the environment, and important landmarks in its surroundings.
